Detox, or detoxification, is the process by which all substances are cleared from the body. This occurs once an individual stops their substance use. Depending on the substance, the amount used, and how frequently it was used, medically supervised detox may be required. Our addiction treatment center offers medically supervised detox for prescription drugs, alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other substances. 

Prescription Drug Detox

Prescription drug use is defined by the engagement of prescription medication in any way other than how it is prescribed. This includes taking more of a medication than prescribed or taking a medication prescribed for someone else. 

The symptoms associated with prescription drug detox vary depending on the exact medication used. 

Common prescription medications seen in detox treatment:

• Prescription Painkillers
• Prescription Tranquilizers
• Prescription Stimulants

At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center, we offer detox for prescription medications in order to safely monitor each individual as they go through their treatment journey. 

Alcohol Detox

Alcohol is one of the most commonly misused substances in the United States, with approximately 17.6 million Americans experiencing alcohol use disorder. 

Detoxing from alcohol can be dangerous, especially if an individual stops their alcohol use cold turkey. It is recommended that an individual wanting to stop their alcohol use does so at a detox facility where they can be medically supervised and monitored. 

Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be categorized into three distinct stages. These stages include:

Stage 1 — Mild 

Symptoms include:

• Headache
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Depression
• Mood swings

Stage 2 — Moderate 

Lasts for 3 days; Mild symptoms occur in this stage in addition to:

• Sweating
• Irritability
• confusion

Stage 3 Severe – Lasts for 1 week; Moderate symptoms occur in addition to: 

• Fever
• Hallucinations

• Agitation

Many of the severe physical withdrawal symptoms subside after several days of detox treatment, however, the psychological symptoms may persist. At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center, we offer alcohol rehab and alcohol detox in NJ for those wanting to undergo a safe withdrawal process. 

Opioid Detox

Opioids are highly addictive chemical substances that can lead to the development of opioid use disorder. New Jersey, and other parts of the Tri-State Area, have been heavily impacted by opioid addiction and the opioid crisis. 

Opioid detox generally lasts for 7 to 10 days, though the exact length of time the withdrawal symptoms persist will depend upon different factors, such as:

• One’s personal history of drug addiction.
• The severity of the substance use, frequency, and length of time that it was used.
• One’s personal medical history.
• The presence of any co-occurring disorders or underlying conditions.
• The individual’s overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Like other substances, the symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal can be uncomfortable and dangerous if left untreated. Our opioid NJ detox program works with each individual to help minimize any negative symptoms that may occur.

Stimulant Detox

Stimulants are substances that stimulate, or speed up the brain, body, and central nervous system. 

Commonly used stimulants include:

At Princeton Detox & Recovery Center we effectively treat all symptoms associated with stimulant withdrawal, regardless of the type of stimulant drug being misused. 

Benzodiazepine Detox

Benzodiazepines are a type of prescription tranquilizer, typically prescribed for the treatment of anxiety-related disorders and persistent sleep issues like insomnia. Benzodiazepines are highly misused. 

Symptoms commonly associated with benzodiazepine withdrawal include:

• Insomnia and other sleep disturbances.
