Drug and Alcohol Detox

Drug and alcohol detoxification is medically-supervised withdrawal.

Dr. Madhava specializes in providing patients with the necessary medications to detoxify from drugs and alcohol safely. She helps patients through the withdrawal process with close monitoring, medications, and neurotransmitter precursors as needed.

Our ultimate goal, both during and after the withdrawal process, is to identify and correct underlying brain imbalances to promote sustainable recovery, prevent relapse and cravings.

Please note that alcohol withdrawal is a serious medical condition and outpatient treatment is not safe for everyone. Dr. Madhava will assess each patient for whether detoxification in the outpatient setting can be done safely and appropriately.

Goals of Detoxification

Lay the foundation for optimizing brain health and the groundwork for abstinence, if that is the goal.
