Medical Detoxification
At Capri our Medical Director and Registered Mental Health Nurse facilitate all medical detoxifications. The goal during detoxification is to keep a person safe and as comfortable as possible. A full medical assessment will be completed as part of and during this process. This will include observations, blood tests, and drug and alcohol screenings. A number of medications may be used to assist in the detoxification process. The length of a person's detoxification depends on a number of factors:
1. The mood-altering substance(s) used
2. The length of time a person has been using the mood-altering substance
3. Other medical or psychological factors.
Capri staff are experienced in safe and successful medical detoxification. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to discuss this with them.
