The first step prior to beginning treatment is to safely complete detoxification. Patients often require detoxification to eliminate the physical dependence on drugs and alcohol. Approximately 80% of patients can be detoxed under our physicians’ care at The Ridge. More severe cases require hospitalization, which can be coordinated through local Detox facilities that we utilize. The detox process typically lasts 3-5 days, but can take longer depending on the severity of the abuse.

Not every addicted person needs the same level of treatment. There are many addiction recovery options to choose from, and the residential treatment program offered at The Ridge isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our physicians can assess the severity of a patient’s disease and recommend the level of care that best fits their recovery needs. Whether an addicted person needs detoxification, residential care, outpatient care, or all three, our diagnostic assessment will assure that every patient gets exactly the level of care that’s best for them.
