Frequently Asked Questions

Moving into an inpatient facility is definitely a significant change for many of our clients. We strive to show complete compassion and support to our clients. Our goal is to help you recover comfortably — which includes making a smooth transition from home to Intrepid Detox Residential. 

We’ve provided a list below to help this process go smoothly. We want to make sure our clients bring what is necessary and leave what is not. 

What to bring:

• Government-issued identification (driver’s license, passport)
• Insurance card
• Unopened over-the-counter medications
• Prescription medication (must be approved and in the original container)
• At least a week’s worth of clothes (swimsuit, socks, pajamas, etc.)
• An alarm clock
• Toiletries
• Cosmetics (hair products, makeup, etc.)
• Misc. hobby materials (books, art supplies, crochet hook, etc.)
• Cigarettes

What not to bring:

• Outside food
• Any medication that is not prescribed to you by your doctor
• Weapons

Committing to a treatment center is a huge step in recovery. We strive to make the admission process as comfortable and productive as possible. Similar to most treatment centers, new clients undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation. We evaluate our patient’s mental and physical health to direct them toward the best course of action.

Following the evaluation, patients undergo a closely monitored medical detox to set the foundation for a successful recovery. We want to make sure any toxin or trace of substance is clear from the body. 

During the first day, our staff takes new clients on a tour of the facility. Tours may vary depending on the treatment program you choose. Then, we introduce you to our staff and medical professionals. Each staff member is motivated to give you the support and encouragement you will need to have a successful and long-term recovery.  Upon starting treatment at Intrepid Detox Residential, our ultimate goal is to make you feel at home.

There may be serious consequences involved when suddenly stopping some drugs. Withdrawal symptoms from particular substances may be severe and even fatal in some circumstances. With that being said, we take medical detox very seriously. Our staff ensures each client is as comfortable as possible during this stage of treatment.

After detox, we continue monitoring and evaluating the patient’s social, physical, and psychological status. We look for certain environmental risk factors that could potentially trigger relapse. We put a lot of effort into building patient’s skills and strategies to help prevent relapse. 

Following detox, many patients enter an inpatient treatment program or an outpatient program. Many patients find that they may have underlying mental health issues that need treatment as well. After you finish our inpatient program, we can refer you to an outpatient program, as well as support groups and aftercare.

Secure and Serene Setting

Intrepid Detox firmly believes that a serene environment has a great impact on healing. We focus on providing a setting that allows our residents to feel comfortable and supported. Our team is dedicated to helping each patient pave the way for long-term success.

Family Involvement

Addiction is a complex disease, and it often affects the entire family. At Intrepid Detox, we focus on the long-term. We understand the healing process for both the individual and their family. Therefore, we have licensed family therapists on staff.

Medically Certified Physicians

Certified physicians are crucial in both the medical detoxification process and in medication-assisted treatment. Our physicians and physicians assistants have a combined 30 years of experience in their respective fields. We believe that mental and physical health is vital in the recovery process, so we offer the most professional, advanced care available.

Detox and Residential Treatment

We believe that a medically monitored detox is a key factor in recovery. We offer a full continuum of care at Intrepid Detox – after clients are deemed stable following a detox, they are transferred to our inpatient treatment facility.
