AMBULATORY DETOXIFICATION
is an alternative to in-patient hospitalization, allowing an addict to get
on the road to recovery safely and efficiently. Alcohol, opioid,
and benzodiazepine dependencies often require protracted hospital
stays, but recent technological development have allowed addicts
to become medically stable on a closely monitored out-patient
basis.
Alcohol Dependency - detox
via LIBRIUM / THIAMINE and the on-going use of CAMPRAL and /
or REVIA for 6-9 months to control cravings.
Opioid Dependency - Detox
via SUBOXONE and Subutex.
Maintenance is an occasional option, and the on-going use of
NALTREXONE to control cravings.
Benzodiazepine Dependency
- dependency via using longer-acting Benzo (Klonopin) to substitute
shorter-acting ones (XANAX / ATIVAN).
Cocaine dependency - detox
via use of MONDAFIL (PROVIGIL) or BROMOCRIPTINE (PARLODEL).
Amphetamine dependency
- detox via use of PROVIGIL.
Hallucinogen dependency
All dependencies can now be managed
in the least-restrictive out-patience environment. Early recovery
oftentimes uncovers undiagnosed depression, anxiety and bipolar
disorders which are treated here.
Recovery also entails dealing
with emerging issues through psychotherapy with Dr.
David Gore who has Buckhead and Roswell offices.
Ambulatory detox requires
a higher level of motivation for treatment and recovery. A psychiatric
evaluation can assess if you are a candidate for ambulatory
detox. Request services
