Evolve Recovery Center strives to make everything straightforward to alleviate any anxiety. We know you’ll make more progress in your substance use recovery when you feel safe. Discover what to expect in our drug and alcohol rehab.

What Is The Difference Between Rehab And Detox?

Countless people confuse addiction rehab with detox, but these services are actually two different stages in the substance use recovery process.

Detox is usually the initial step in addiction recovery

Recovery cannot begin until the alcohol or drug is out of your body. The preferred way to detox is in a medically directed detox center. This helps remove from your body dangerous substances while lessening adverse withdrawal symptoms. In general, detox:

• Takes 3-10 days to remove addictive alcohol or drugs from your system.
• Utilizes medical care to track your vital signs and manage withdrawal symptoms.
• Starts preparing you mentally and physically for the next phase in recovery.

Inpatient Rehab Helps You Build Skills For Recovery

After the detoxification step you can proceed to the next stage of recovery at an inpatient rehab. When going to Evolve Recovery Center, you will receive 24/7 attention to move further away from drug or alcohol use. While staying at rehab, you will gain the psychological and cognitive skills necessary for sobriety while your body heals from the addiction. Generally, rehab:

• Takes a few weeks
• Is a protected place to reside when you’re at the greatest risk of a relapse
• Involves group therapy, one-on-one therapy, and family support sessions
• Uses prescriptions, like Suboxone or Vivitrol, to control cravings and symptoms of withdrawal
