Factors such as type of substance(s) abused, the severity of addiction, length of substance abuse, weight, age, sex, and overall health can influence how long it takes to fully detox. In general, most people detox from drugs and alcohol within a week but can last up to 10 days. Patients begin to feel withdrawal symptoms within hours of their last drink or dose and symptoms will peak two to three days later. Occasionally some people may experience mild, lingering withdrawal symptoms known as Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) which can last several weeks or months later.

How Long is Rehab?

The length of alcohol and drug rehab will also vary from case to case. Most of our clients at Sylvan Detox find they are able to complete their treatment milestones in about a month. However, individuals struggling with severe addiction, long substance abuse, or co-occurring disorders, may need longer treatment programs to work on and break negative behavioral patterns. Our treatment programs will be tailored to your addiction and personal needs and our staff will work with you to find the best treatment length for you. Generally, clients complete recovery programs in 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day lengths. All programs can be shortened or lengthened depending on your progress.

Sylvan Detox can help verify your insurance and benefits through a simple online form. You can also call us and one of our addiction specialists will gladly help verify your plan and walk you through your benefits.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an important tool used in substance abuse treatment. Our medical detox program includes 24/7 medical care from a team of doctors and nurses who can administer FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawals and cravings and keep your vitals in check. MAT is used throughout the recovery process as a way to enhance psychotherapy effectiveness, prevent relapses, reduce long-term cravings, and assist in brain function. Dual diagnosis treatment also uses MAT to help those with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder find relief quickly as they learn ways to manage their disorders through psychotherapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one form of psychotherapy used in addiction treatment that can be quite effective in getting individuals to recognize and break negative behavioral patterns related to drug and alcohol addiction. CBT is a type of one-on-one therapy with a trained therapist. Patients can talk about various aspects of their lives related to their substance abuse or co-occurring disorders. As problematic behaviors and thought patterns are identified, therapists will offer ways to replace them with healthier, positive ones. Dual diagnosis frequently uses CBT to help patients gain control over various mental health disorder symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that aims to help patients live in the moment and live a life they feel good about. Core skills taught in DBT include how to deal with difficult situations, mindfulness in gaining awareness of thoughts and emotions without judgment, emotional regulation, and managing interpersonal relationships. Sylvan Detox counselors use DBT to help our patients increase their awareness surrounding self-harming behavior such as substance abuse, so they can change those behaviors. Patients are also more committed to their sobriety and have increased motivation through various techniques and activities.

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, or REBT, is a type of action-oriented cognitive behavioral therapy. Patients learn how to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a healthier manner and how to deal with irrational beliefs. Patients at Sylvan Detox will learn how their negative thoughts and beliefs have created emotional distress which has led to unhealthy behaviors, such as substance abuse. We use REBT to help patients get to the root of their addiction.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Often, mental health disorders like PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, are common in those with substance use disorders. Referred to as co-occurring disorders, they can be the cause of or result from addiction and create a vicious cycle. Dual diagnosis treatment aims to treat all co-occurring disorders simultaneously to give patients their best chance at healing their mind and spirit for successful long-term recovery. Through various psychotherapy techniques, holistic treatments, and medication-assistedminds treatment, patients will manage mental health disorders without the use of drugs or alcohol, breaking the cycle of sobriety and relapse once and for all.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

An interactive psychotherapy technique, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) aims to relieve past trauma, psychological stress, and painful memories. An EMDR therapist will lead the patient through a series of bilateral (side-to-side) eye movements while recollecting triggering experiences or past traumatic events in small segments. Over time with repeated sessions, those memories will no longer cause the same physical or emotional effects on a person. EMDR is beneficial in relieving PTSD and other mental health disorder symptoms.

Relapse Prevention

Drug and alcohol addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder that requires constant management. Relapse prevention is one of our most important tools for patients graduating at Sylvan Detox. We teach our patients how to identify relapse triggers, recognize signs of an oncoming relapse, and develop a plan on how to handle those situations. Part of your relapse plan will also include ways you will keep working on your sobriety independently, healthy conscious practices, and coping skills and tools to manage triggers. We encourage patients to include 12-step meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous into their relapse prevention plan.

Life Skills Training

Addiction can completely take over a person’s life and cause them to miss out on several events in life, including learning essential life skills necessary for independent living. Sylvan Detox incorporates group discussions and classes that focus on teaching clients the necessary skill to reintegrate successfully into the real world. During life skill training, clients can identify and practice skills to live their life independently. Some skills taught in this group include cleaning, cooking, budgeting finances, work-life balance, communication skills, succeeding in a job, building an exercise routine, nutritional counseling, and mastering interpersonal skills.

Vocational Training

Sylvan Detox helps patients find and maintain successful employment. Having a stable job is critical for successful recovery as it helps you gain financial independence, creates accountability, and reduces financial stress triggers that may lead to a relapse. Having a job can also help you maintain a routine. Vocational training during drug and alcohol rehab will teach interviewing skills, resume-building skills, and self-management skills so patients can find a job after completing rehab. We can also help provide you with resources to help you find a job.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an essential part of addiction treatment programs at Sylvan Detox. Patients will attend several group recovery therapy sessions a week which are led by a trained therapist or counselor. Group therapy sessions will vary in topics including aftercare planning, life skills training, daily goals, health and wellness, emotional self-regulation, anger management, and psychoeducation. This is a great opportunity to learn from peers and provide mutual support. Group therapy also helps patients create lasting connections and friendships, which can create a lasting support network for individuals in recovery. It is normal to find sharing and participating in group therapy difficult at the beginning, however as you build better interpersonal skills and self-esteem, participation will become easier and you will gain greater benefits.

Experiential Therapy

Our programs at Sylvan Detox are personalized to each individual and will include various forms of therapy so you can explore what works best for you. Some people do not respond as well to traditional therapy settings, where you sit with counselors discussing various aspects of your life surrounding addiction. Experiential therapies are hands-on, engaging activities that can help those struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders work through their issues much more easily. This non-traditional therapy setting includes making art, creating music, recreational therapy, role-playing, adventure therapy, and animal therapy to help patients work through repressed feelings and emotions. These types of interactive experiences may resonate more with some patients and we will incorporate more of these therapies if that is what fits you best.

One-on-One Therapy

Also known as individual therapy, one on one therapy is often the main focus of substance abuse recovery programs to help patients work through their individual issues surrounding addiction. You will meet with your primary psychotherapist in a private and safe setting, and they will guide you through various behavioral therapies depending on your personal needs and how you respond to therapy. Our multidisciplinary staff is trained in various forms of therapy to help you find the type of behavioral health treatment that works best for you. You can discuss and work through the most intense parts of your life and addiction to heal underlying issues. Therapists will provide you with tools, feedback, and coping strategies to deal with those issues in a positive way.

Family Therapy

Drug and alcohol addiction can have far-reaching effects, including on your loved ones and relationships. Family therapy can help mend broken relationships caused by substance abuse. This is also an opportunity for loved ones to learn how to better communicate, set healthy boundaries, and better support you in your recovery. Through family therapy, unhealthy family dynamics such as codependent and enabling behaviors can be fixed. Addiction is a fairly new concept for anyone; most people do not know how to handle their loved one’s substance abuse or recovery. Family therapy is an important tool for not only healing but also educating.

Trauma-Informed Therapy 

Our therapists at Sylvan Detox are trauma-informed and will assume that patients have a history of traumatic events so they can ensure they feel safe and heard. Trauma-informed therapy is a way therapists and treatment facilities interact with clients. We are aware that your addiction treatment may trigger those who have experienced trauma, including issues surrounding medical care, authority figures, and other PTSD issues. Staff will be aware of the signs of trauma and ensure they interact with you in a way that avoids re-traumatization. We will always be transparent about your therapies and include your treatment planning.

Physical Fitness

Physical exercise can be a powerful tool in recovery and relapse prevention. Sylvan Detox incorporates physical fitness into treatment programs through recreational activities, exercise classes, and fitness counseling to help the body and mind heal themselves. Exercise can help the body regulate endorphins again, provide structure, reduce cravings, create a routine, and build body-mind awareness. Clients will explore various exercise ways to find what speaks to them best and becomes something they look forward to in their day.

Off-Site Activities

The work you put into your recovery while in drug and alcohol rehab can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Part of your rehabilitation program at Sylvan Detox includes personal downtime so you can relax and decompress. We also incorporate off-site activities in addition to daily recreational time at the treatment facility to ensure you are happy and comfortable as well. Off-site activities are beneficial to the recovery process, reducing feelings of isolation and allowing patients to experience the real world in their newfound sobriety. This is an excellent chance to apply what you have learned in treatment including managing triggers and interacting with others without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
