Detoxification is the psychological or medicinal removal of unwanted substances from the body. We care about you. That’s why we don’t skip this first stage of addiction treatment. Thus, ensuring your psychological state is back to normal after excessive use of addictive substances. Physical symptoms of withdrawal, psychiatric symptoms, and emotional disorders are regulated.

The Process

At Chiromo, we focus on stabilization which takes a few days, usually 3 to 10. After this we have an assessment period which informs further treatment plans which may or may not include referral for rehabilitation.

Some patients go home on treatment for various types of mental illness. Some patients use / abuse alcohol and drugs because they suffer from a treatable mental illness such as Schizophrenia or depression. Treatment of the mental illness leads to the reduction of the need to use alcohol/drugs.
