Withdrawal Management Program
At Parkdale Center, we know that when it comes to treating substance use disorders (SUD), everyone's needs are different. Some people who are struggling with a SUD can become dependent on alcohol or other drugs, and when they discontinue using them, symptoms of withdrawal may occur.
The effects of withdrawal on the body and mind can differ from person to person, but they are always uncomfortable and when not monitored correctly, can be dangerous. This is where our Withdrawal Management Program comes in.
Withdrawal symptoms typically occur 6-24 hours after someone with a dependence stops using. The severity and duration of withdrawal are dependent on the length of time abusing the substance, type of substance abused, family history, and medical and mental health history.
Parkdale's Withdrawal Management Program gives you guided support throughout your withdrawal. The first step is to perform your comprehensive assessment so we can establish the kind of individualized support program will work best for you.
