What people are saying

“I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.”

Ian D.

“The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.”

Marci B.

“Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.”

Liz R.

“From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to detox from alcohol?

Detoxing from alcohol is dependent on the severity of your alcoholism. In most cases, it will take around 5-7 days to detox from alcohol, with clients reporting the third day of their detox being the most difficult.

Our detox program in our residential facilities provides around-the-clock support from our clinical staff, with medication assistance if necessary. We are there to support your withdrawal, monitor your progress, and ensure your safety throughout the entire process.

What is detox? And how long does it take to detox?

Detox is a stage in which the mind and body go into once it starts letting go of a chemical that it has been dependent on for some time. Detoxing is usually associated with the idea of cleansing, but with substance use, it’s an intense physical, emotional, and behavioral withdrawal that can have some unbearable features. However, detox is the most effective in providing the first steps towards a better and healthier you. 

The detox process is dependent on the substance you are detoxing from, but most clients find success in their detox and withdrawal symptoms within 5-7 days of starting the process. You will detox safely in our residential treatment center with the support of our clinical team for any challenges that may arise during your detox.

How to detox from drugs?

Detoxing from drugs depends on the drug you are detoxing from. Different drugs create different symptoms when it comes to detoxing. If not handled correctly, detoxing from substances such as Xanax and Alcohol can be fatal. If the addiction is severe, it will require medical supervision.

However, medical detox is the most effective in all cases if the substance use is severe. Detoxing from drugs and alcohol can cause a complex reaction to the body and mind, depending on how long you or your loved one has been using, if there is a combination of substances being used, and for how long. Detoxing is also measured in reaction to any other co-occurring medical conditions you might have.
