Drug Detox Services at Journey Recovery Centre

The drug detox process at Journey addresses the complex nature of chemical dependency. When someone uses a particular drug for an extended period, it changes the way the body functions. Detoxing is complicated, and physical withdrawal can be very challenging, even dangerous. Our services assist patients through this process and prepare them mentally for the next steps in getting clean.

Our comprehensive drug detox programme caters to a wide array of substance dependencies. This includes heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, and prescription medications, among others. By offering a broad spectrum of care, we ensure that each patient receives the specific support they need to detox safely.



Our programme is built on an understanding of the unique challenges of different substances. By offering tailored detox plans, we can address addiction in a highly specific way, catering treatment to each person.

At Journey Recovery Centre, we take a very holistic approach to drug detox. Each patient deserves to have a treatment plan that covers all aspects of their addiction. A comprehensive recovery plan lays the groundwork for lasting healing. Some of the benefits of our programme include:

Medical Assistance:

Our detox is carefully monitored by experts in addiction. They help manage withdrawal safely and comfortably, any time of the day or night. This careful attention helps reduce any risks and makes sure patients are as comfortable as possible during detox.

Psychological Therapies:

It’s important to start dealing with the emotional and mental parts of addiction from the beginning. Our programme includes different types of therapy, like one-on-one and group sessions, to help start this important work early on.

Behavioural Therapies:

Behavioural therapies are a key part of our approach. They give patients new ways to change harmful behaviours and ways of thinking. These methods are vital for building strength against addiction and teaching how to cope in healthier ways.
