Opiate detox may be done on an in- or out-patient basis. The opiate detox program is for any client who needs medical intervention to eliminate opioids/opiates from his or her body. First, you or your loved one will come to our offices for a complete evaluation and assessment by the medical staff. It is difficult to say precisely what treatment will entail because every individual is unique. Below is a general outline of our program, but understand that some parts may be more applicable than others. For example, more or less counseling may be recommended to narrowly tailor the treatment program to the specific needs of each individual:

• Initial Intake
  Program overview. Medical assessment by MD and RN, including blood work, drug screens, private counseling sessions, group sessions and the first week of medication. Our assessment team will determine which detox program is necessary, from 15 days to thirteen weeks or more.

• Random drug screens may be administered at any given time

VIVITROL has been FDA approved for the prevention of opioid dependence, following opioid detoxification.* Vivitrol is an injectable form of naltrexone and is administered as a once-monthly intramuscular injection. Vivitrol is a nonaddictive, nonscheduled, opioid antagonist that blocks the subjective effects of opioids. With the use of Vivitrol, the chance of not taking naltrexone is eliminated therefore the chance of NOT relapsing is better.

Alcohol abuse means having unhealthy or dangerous drinking habits, such as drinking every day or drinking too much at a time. Alcohol abuse can harm your relationships, cause you to miss work, and lead to legal problems such as driving while drunk (intoxicated). When you abuse alcohol, you continue to drink even though you know your drinking is causing problems.
If you continue to abuse alcohol, it can lead to alcohol dependence. Alcohol dependence is also called alcoholism. You are physically or mentally addicted to alcohol. You have a strong need, or craving, to drink. You feel like you must drink just to get by.
You might be dependent on alcohol if you have three or more of the following problems in a year:

• You cannot quit drinking or control how much you drink.

• You need to drink more to get the same effect. 

• You have withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking. These include feeling sick to your stomach, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety. 

• You spend a lot of time drinking and recovering from drinking, or you have given up other activities so you can drink.

• You have tried to quit drinking or to cut back the amount you drink but haven't been able to. 

• You continue to drink even though it harms your relationships and causes physical problems. 

Alcoholism is a long-term (chronic) disease. It's not a weakness or a lack of willpower. Like many other diseases, it has a course that can be predicted, has known symptoms, and is influenced by your genes and your life situation.

With our program, there is no need to be concerned about pain or discomfort during detox. Our physician-supervised staff of highly trained registered nurses closely monitor every patient during alcohol detox. Furthermore, as every individual has his or her own different needs, we provide a "client-specific" treatment plan, which means we will tailor our program for you or a loved one, and let you recover at your own pace.
At Assisted Recovery Center of Georgia, Inc. in Savannah, our detox program includes the revolutionary drug Naltrexone (Revia). Naltrexone blocks the euphoric feeling that alcohol and opiates cause in the brain. Therefore, the need to use them subsides. In fact, most of our programs' participants report a sense of calm within one hour of taking their first tablet. In only 9 to 12 months, most people are able to stop taking Naltrexone without any cravings. And, without any cravings, relapse is far less likely to happen. Naltrexone also helps repair neuroreceptors which have been damaged by substance abuse, enabling the client to get "high on life" once more. While most traditional treatment programs demonstrate a success rate of only 10-12%, this revolutionary new treatment proves to be 50-80% successful!

​More than just a traditional alcohol detox/opiate detox center, our beautiful Savannah, Georgia location serves the South East, including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
