The first step of virtually all treatment and recovery programs in the city will be to attend a Malibu drug detox center. It is highly recommended to use the detox program associated with your residential treatment facility to allow a continuity of services. It also allows you to start working with the recovery treatment staff as soon as possible through detox.
Regardless of which Malibu drug detox program you go through, there are some simple ways you can ensure your detox will be as short and as comfortable as possible. There are always withdrawal symptoms to deal with, but a medically supervised detox can provide clients with medications to help with the individual symptoms they are experiencing.
See Detox as a First Step
Most addicts see detox as a final door closing on a life to which they have become accustomed. They may see it as an end to having “fun”, an end to interacting with their peers, and an end to a lifestyle they may have lived for years. Often people are also very worried they won’t make it through detox and rehab, which is where a top facility can provide the staff, support and services needed for each client to succeed.
By turning this around and seeing your participation in a Malibu drug detox as the first step in achieving your goals you will have a more positive outlook. Having a positive outlook on the future provides hope and self-encouragement rather than seeing it as a negative or imposed situation.
Avoid a Last Party
One of the least beneficial things a client can do before checking into a Malibu drug detox is to have that one last big party. For some, this may not include the party, but simply using one last time.
The more recent the use is to the admission to the Malibu drug detox the more likely there are to be significant withdrawal symptoms. This is true with virtually all types of drugs, and it can become more difficult if drugs are combined with alcohol close to the time to going into the detox center.
It is also critical to make the personal commitment to yourself and your family to stay in detox and treatment for the duration of the program. Typically when a client chooses to stay through detox they will stay through the rehab program, providing themselves with the opportunity to develop the skills they need to live a clean and sober life upon return to their homes after treatment is complete.
