Opioid Detox

Why Detox Under Medical Care: It’s imperative to seek the help of the Landon Institute for opioid detox, because If conducted improperly, detox can be painful and even life-threatening in certain cases. The discomfort of withdrawal is one of the primary reasons people leave treatment early or put off treatment altogether. At the Landon Institute, your successful detox will begin with our comprehensive assessments, followed by proper medication. It’s with this whole-recovery approach we have found astonishing success for our patients.


About Our Detox Program Our Opioid Detox Program manages the physical changes that occur in the brain and body after repeated drug use while providing the highest degree of comfort and support. When patients addicted to opiates/heroin suddenly discontinue drug use, they undergo withdrawal symptoms such as pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting to varying degrees, but in most cases the withdrawal symptoms are so severe the user feels the need to relapse immediately. For that reason, detox is often accompanied with our Medication Assisted Therapy program where physician prescribed medications allow the patient to undergo detox much more safely and comfortably.
