Drug and Alcohol Detox Services with Bradford at Madison

The process of addressing substance use disorder often begins with detoxification, which is commonly referred to as detox.

At Bradford, you can trust that the start of your journey toward recovery is safe and under the care of medical experts through our onsite detox services. Our team consists of licensed professionals with specialized training in addiction treatment. During detox, we use proven methods and medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms and ensure comfort.

As a person becomes tolerant of a substance, they will also become dependent on it. If they stop using, over time, they can experience withdrawal symptoms that usually present as the opposite of the drug’s intended effects.

Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, including headaches, shaking, or vomiting, as the body tries to find balance without the substance. In our detox program at Bradford at Madison, licensed medical and clinical staff carefully monitor patients at all hours.

Detoxification removes substances from the body, helping it recover from dependence on drugs or alcohol. This process is necessary to stabilize the body before beginning the next steps in a treatment plan.

During your stay in our detox unit, our staff will regularly assess your condition to ensure your safety. We monitor vital signs like heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure and check in on your mental state. Our medical team may also prescribe medications to ease withdrawal symptoms during this process.

You’ll have plenty of time to rest, rejuvenate, and reset your body and mind before joining a community of peers in the residential program. The detox process can take up to a few days but will always be customized to fit your circumstances and condition. Our main objective is to stabilize your body and ensure you are physically and mentally ready to begin your treatment program.
