The Family Recovery Program is pivotal to the effectiveness of successful addiction treatment and the recovery process. The staff at Lakeview understand that the disease of addiction and alcoholism is a family illness and that all members of the family and significant others have been directly effected. In many cases, the behaviors and feelings expressed over the years have created fertile ground for the birth of a dysfunctional family system or enabled one to continue to flourish.

When a person refers to an alcohol detox program or drug detox program, they are actually referring to the substance the person is going to detox from. While addiction treatment programs or drug rehab programs might differ on the actual detox protocol they utilize, inpatient drug detox and inpatient alcohol detox services are generally the same.

To maintain the highest quality of care, the detox program should be located within the drug rehab or alcohol rehab facility to insure the smoothest transition into the actual drug rehab or alcohol treatment process. The detox program should have as a minimum, 24 hour nursing, a physician trained in addiction medicine (ASAM certified) and an addiction treatment staff capable of providing ongoing support for the patient in detox. The detox program and drug rehab should be licensed by the state in which they reside, as well as, accredited by the Joint Commission of Accreditation for Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

Lastly, a person’s length of stay in alcohol detox or drug detox is determined by how long it takes the individual to become medically stable and free of drug withdrawal or alcohol withdrawal symptoms. This varies depending upon the substance, length of use, frequency of use, method of use, combination of other substances and associated medical and psychiatric issues.
