Detox

Prolonged substance abuse can result in a physical addiction prone to serious or life-threatening, medical complications. The process of toxins leaving the body may also create intense discomfort and is often cited as a reason for not quitting. For this reason, Texas Star provides medical detoxification (commonly referred to as “detox”) to avoid potential health complications and alleviate withdrawal discomfort.

The use of medications, medical/nursing supervision and a hospital-based setting are three key components to Texas Star’s detox component. The patient sees a physician on a daily basis and is closely monitored as a precautionary measure.

Suboxone for Opiate Withdrawal

Texas Star Recovery’s opiate detoxification component is focused on medically safe, effective detoxification in a supportive environment. The Medical Director and attending physicians are licensed buprenorphine (www.Suboxone.com) providers for opiate dependency treatment.

The use of suboxone is based on a case-by-case review. Special care is taken to minimize the patients’ discomfort and, if used correctly, suboxone serves as a “soft landing” for those experiencing opiate withdrawal symptoms.
