Detox at Passmores House
If you’re dependent on alcohol or drugs, stopping suddenly can be uncomfortable and in some cases, dangerous. That’s why detox needs to happen somewhere safe, with the right medical support around you.
At Passmores House, you’ll be medically monitored and supported every step of the way, so you can come off the substance you’re dependent on as safely and comfortably as possible.
What is detox?
Detox is the process of clearing a substance from your body. When you’ve been using for a long time, your body has become used to having it there. Coming off too quickly without support can cause serious withdrawal symptoms.
That’s why we don’t just leave you to get through it. Our medical team are with you throughout, adjusting your treatment as you go and making sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
What to expect
Everyone’s detox looks a little different depending on what you’ve been using, how long you’ve been using it, and your wider health. We take all of this into account from the start.
We offer medically supervised detox from:
Alcohol
Opiates
Including methadone, buprenorphine, morphine, fentanyl and opiate painkillers.
Benzodiazepines and Z drugs
Other substances
GBL, ketamine, kratom, loperamide, stimulants and more.
Depending on your needs, detox programmes run from 7 to 28 days. Your plan is put together specifically for you, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here.
You won’t be doing this alone
We have nurses on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A doctor is available every single day, including weekends. Our team is led by a Consultant in Addiction Psychiatry, alongside GPs and other specialists.
As well as medical care, we weave in emotional and psychological support throughout your detox, including group work and one-to-one sessions, so you’re supported in every way, not just physically.
Passmores House has not only saved my life, but also given it back to me.
