TREATMENT FAQs

Detoxification, or “detox,” is the process of carefully tapering the body off the harmful and potentially painful effects of alcohol or drug withdrawal. It is a crucial step in the recovery journey and involves a team of medical professionals monitoring the individual’s physical and emotional well-being to ensure their safety and comfort.

Detox is important because it helps to physically stabilize an individual and prepare them for the next steps in their recovery journey. It is not always a necessary part of addiction treatment, but it is often recommended when entering rehab.

It is not recommended to attempt to detox on your own due to the potential for severe withdrawal symptoms and the risk of relapse. Going “cold turkey” with alcohol or benzodiazepines, without medical supervision, can be dangerous and even life-threatening in some cases.

Stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, seizures, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, and even delirium tremens (DTs), which can be life-threatening.

Withdrawal can cause an increased heart rate and blood pressure, which can put a strain on the heart and lead to problems such as heart attack or stroke.

Psychological distress: Cold turkey withdrawal can lead to anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems.

It is best to seek the support of a medically assisted detox program, such as the one offered at TRC, to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience possible.

During detox, an individual can expect to be monitored closely by a team of medical professionals, and may be given medications to manage withdrawal symptoms and address any underlying medical conditions. They can also expect to receive emotional support and counseling to help them cope with the physical and psychological challenges of detox.

The length of detox varies from person to person. Depending on the severity of their addiction and the substance they are using, detox typically lasts between five to ten days. It is important to understand that each person’s detox experience is unique and will be tailored to their individual needs.

After detox, it is important for individuals to continue their recovery journey through a comprehensive treatment program, such as an inpatient or outpatient rehab program. At TRC, we offer a range of services to help individuals maintain sobriety after detox.

It is recommended to bring comfortable clothing and any personal items you may need during your stay; please refer to an admissions counselor for specifics. It is also helpful to bring any insurance information and identification documents.

TRC accepts a range of insurance plans. Our admissions team can help you understand what your insurance will cover and how to access any additional financial assistance that may be available. If you don’t have insurance, there are funding options through the state of Oklahoma. And, like most rehab centers, we accept private pay.

Admissions to TRC can be arranged by appointment, seven days a week. Simply call 405-525-2525 or come in person to The Recovery Center at 1215 NW 25th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. All inquiries are held in strict confidence.

During your stay at TRC, you can expect to receive comprehensive case-management services that incorporate your individual needs with a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet your recovery goals.

Yes, you will have access to your belongings during your stay at TRC. However, certain items may be restricted for safety reasons. Our team will discuss any restrictions with you upon admission.

Our team will work with you to determine the most appropriate visiting schedule based on your loved one’s needs.

There are many ways you can support your loved one during their stay at TRC. Some suggestions include offering emotional support, being understanding and non-judgmental, and encouraging them to participate in their treatment program. It is also helpful to educate yourself about addiction and the recovery process.

TRC is committed to keeping families informed about their loved one’s progress during treatment. Once your loved one signs a consent form, TRC staff may discuss their care with you.

Family involvement in treatment is often an important factor in the recovery process. At TRC, our outpatient therapists offer family therapy and other opportunities for family involvement in treatment. Your loved one’s treatment team will work with you to determine the most appropriate level of involvement, based on your loved one’s needs.

It is common for individuals needing substance abuse treatment to be resistant to treatment, especially at the beginning of the recovery process. At TRC, our team is trained to work with individuals who may be resistant to treatment, and we offer a range of services to support their recovery journey. It is important to remember that recovery is a process, and it may take time for your loved one to fully engage in treatment.

It’s not like it used to be. Medications are available to ease symptoms of withdrawal. Our team of medical professionals will work with you to minimize the negative impact of withdrawal symptoms and make the experience as safe and comfortable as possible.

Recovery can be a challenging process, both physically and emotionally. It is natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure if you can handle the challenges ahead. However, it is important to remember that you are not alone in this journey and that our team of medical and clinical professionals is here to support and guide you every step of the way.
