  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.

Tuckasegee - Adolescents

As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment program can be overwhelming and frightening. Unfortunately, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehab programs have been created to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to substance abuse treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
