Dependence on drugs or alcohol affects more than just the brain. Substance abuse also manifests itself in a deep physiological reliance that can take a physical toll on the body. Treatment for substance abuse at Cottonwood Tucson begins with a medically managed detoxification process in order to cleanse the body and prepare it for sobriety. This process helps the client to avoid the debilitating and potentially life-threatening symptoms that can otherwise come with withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Therapists are on hand during the detox process to help each client through the mental stress that often results from abrupt cessation of drugs or alcohol.

Throughout the detox process, attentive nurses, clinicians and credentialed addiction specialists maintain a safe environment for the client. On-site doctors are available around the clock in case an urgent medical need arises. Cottonwood’s pharmacy is open 24 hours a day to dispense medication.
