Effective rehabilitation with Dr. Michael Levy focuses on treating clients with dignity, respect and confidentiality, helping individuals reintegrate into society as productive, drug-free individuals. Recovery is a life-long process. Dr. Levy and his staff are committed to groundbreaking treatment methods and medications, research, public advocacy and education. The long-term goal for rehabilitation at the Center for Addiction Medicine is to help individuals regain function, independence and quality of life without drugs or alcohol.Detoxification is the process of allowing the body to rid itself of a drug while managing the symptoms of withdrawal. It is often the first step in a drug addiction treatment program and should be accompanied by treatment with a behavioral therapy, individual counseling and/or medication. Detox alone with no follow-up is not treatment. At the Center for Addiction Medicine, cutting edge protocols, expert medical and clinical staff, a safe, supportive environment, and an introduction to the principles of recovery are the keys to a successful and comfortable detox.
