Detox as a Foundation
Detox often marks the beginning of recovery from addiction. It is the initial phase of treatment, during which working with specialist partners is essential. In some cases, this may even involve detox at clinics in different parts of the world, including the Netherlands, Southern Europe or South Africa.
Assessment and Decision-Making During Intake
During the intake phase, the client's substance use and background are thoroughly assessed. This determines whether detox is a necessary part of the treatment plan. It is considered particularly carefully if severe withdrawal symptoms occur after stopping the use of psychoactive substances.
Safety and Collaboration: Partners in Detox
A safe detox is vital to the success of treatment. By working with specialist partners, we ensure that clients receive the right care and support during this crucial phase of their recovery journey.
The duration of detox treatment varies by client and is determined in consultation with the doctor, taking into account factors such as the type of drug/substance, daily dosage, frequency of use and individual sensitivity.
In the Netherlands, detoxification costs are covered by health insurance, although an excess applies. This makes detox accessible to people from a range of financial backgrounds.
