Frequently Asked Questions
What does Chattanooga Detox Center do to ease my withdrawal symptoms?
There are many ways that we can help clients ease withdrawal symptoms:
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): We offer MAT, which combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to ease severe withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of relapse.
Comfortable and Supportive Environment: We provide a safe and welcoming place for detox. Our clients feel less anxiety throughout withdrawal, and being comfortable has a significant impact on their mental state. Staff are available throughout the day and overnight.
24/7 Medical Staff: Our medical team is on hand around the clock to assist clients experiencing distressing or life-threatening symptoms. They can recommend psychiatric medications or sedatives to help with insomnia or depression during detox.
Holistic Recovery: We offer holistic treatments like yoga and meditation to reduce stress and redirect cravings. Nutritional support is also provided to restore optimal health.
What should I bring with me to treatment?
Since our treatment programs are inpatient, clients should bring items for their stay:
- Clothing and Footwear: Including sleepwear and workout clothes for exercise and yoga classes.
- Medications: Any prescription and over-the-counter medications you are currently taking.
- Identification and Insurance Cards
- Personal Items: Such as a journal, books, or extra blankets.
We provide basic necessities like linens and meals. Bring enough clothing for about a week; laundry facilities are available on-site. Please note, we will check for any items containing alcohol or drugs upon entry.
Will I have a private room?
We offer both private and shared rooms to accommodate our clients’ needs and budgets:
- Shared Rooms: A cost-effective option with guidelines to ensure comfort among roommates.
- Private Rooms: Available for those desiring more privacy, for an additional fee.
Our goal is to provide comfortable living arrangements that suit your preferences.
How long does detox last?
Detox typically lasts seven to ten days, but some individuals may need up to two weeks for symptoms to become manageable. Our program supports clients through the most challenging phase of detox, addressing both physical and mental symptoms. While some withdrawal symptoms may linger, most clients are ready to continue treatment once severe symptoms subside.
How long does residential treatment last?
Our residential and inpatient treatment program usually lasts 30 to 90 days:
- Flexible Duration: Some clients may need more time before feeling ready to leave, while others are comfortable after 30 days.
- Personalized Approach: We work with each client to make the best decisions based on their unique recovery journey.
Our focus is on providing the necessary support to match each client’s needs.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost of treatment varies depending on factors like:
- Level of Care: Inpatient programs generally cost more than outpatient services.
- Program Features: Facilities offering additional amenities and treatments may have higher costs.
