What Are Designer Drugs?

Designer drugs are sophisticated synthetic substances, meticulously engineered to mimic the effects of traditional recreational or medical drugs. These exquisite concoctions, available in various alluring forms like powders, pills, and liquids, hold a certain allure for users seeking an intensified high beyond compare.

However, one must tread carefully in the realm of these perilous chemical compounds. Marketed as potential alternatives to more conventional substances, there lies an inherent danger in the unknown. Their safety remains untested, their exact compositions shrouded in mystery. This lack of knowledge can precipitate potentially life-threatening side effects, which may manifest with devastating consequences, catching one unaware.

Regrettably, embracing designer drugs often leads down a treacherous path of addiction, inflicting severe short and long-term repercussions. The deleterious impact can range from impaired cognitive functioning and compromised decision-making abilities to diminished libido and pervasive physical discomfort. The insatiable desire for more of the drug becomes all-consuming in a relentless pursuit of fleeting pleasure.

It is vital to comprehend the risks and heed the cautionary tale woven by designer drugs, for indulging in their allure may pave the way to a darkness difficult to escape.

FAQ

We’ve put together a list of commonly asked questions to help shed some light on the experience and ease any lingering fears or anxieties you may have.

Our goal is to ensure that the detoxification process is as smooth and comfortable as possible for our guests. Medical care is available 24/7 and we utilize a variety of therapies, activities and treatments to promote a positive, healthy experience. These include daily activities, individual and group therapy, holistic approaches, medication maintenance and more, scheduled in such a way that is ideal for patient recovery. The goal is to maintain a daily balance that isn’t too hectic or overwhelming, nor so relaxed that guests get bored. Patients also receive a certain amount of personal freedom and independence; we are not a hospital or psychiatric ward and clients are not locked in. Our facility strives to create an inviting, home-like environment for a safe and comfortable experience. At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, our patients are our guests and we treat them as such.

On average, detox lasts about five days but can range from three to 10 days. Detox varies from patient to patient and you or your loved one’s exact length of stay depends on a variety of factors, such as: the substance(s) they have used, the amount of substance(s) they have used, the length of time they have been using the substance(s), frequency of use and the route of administration can all determine just how long they need to be in our care.

At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, we understand that detox alone isn’t a long-term solution for treating addiction. It is just one intervention method of many for changing a substance-abusing lifestyle into a clean-and-sober one. For this reason, we work very hard to help each individual develop an appropriate plan for formal chemical dependency treatment, whether on an inpatient or outpatient basis, at the time of their discharge.

Having a plan set up prior to detox would be ideal to help ensure that appropriate treatment is secured in advance, but things don’t always work out this way. Unfortunately, relapses and addiction rarely happen at logical or convenient times and leave little opportunity to set up a plan before entering detox. In this case, we work closely with the patient and their family to develop a post-detox plan and organize the next phase of recovery. This often involves coordinating treatment around work and family responsibilities, considering issues such as motivation, commitment or denial, and untangling financial or insurance limitations. While these decisions are never easy, they are done in order to promote the best chance at achieving long-term recovery and support the individual and their family as they work toward a life free of drugs or alcohol.

Detox is a difficult time for both the individual participating in the detox program and their family, who are separated from them during the process. At Valiant Living Detox and Assessment, we want you to feel comfortable knowing that your loved one is in a safe place during this difficult time and is being cared for appropriately with nothing but compassion and support. Although you may feel the need to be in contact or see them during this process, we firmly believe that detox is most effective when there are as few distractions as possible. This allows patients to focus on healing and gives them time to consider their next steps. Throughout the process, a staff member will be in contact with you to provide you with updates, progress reports and more. Our compassionate team will also be available to coach, support and advise you, so you’re better prepared to help your loved one make important decisions regarding their future and provide the guidance, encouragement and empathy they need at this time.

The first 24 hours of detox are often spent resting and recuperating. During this time, patients will have access to a phone and will be able to make a check-in call and provide a progress update. You will be able to provide encouragement and remind your loved one of the importance of what they’re doing, but after this period, it’s important that they focus on themselves and begin the healing process. Detox is a time for patients to take a step back from their lives so they can reconnect with their inner selves and engage in active self-reflection and self-care. Since the time in detox may last for three to 10 days, we recognize the importance of each precious minute we spend with our patients. Visitation may take away from the short amount of time available and interfere with program participation, so we believe it’s important to establish healthy boundaries and spend this time apart. For these reasons, visitation isn’t allowed during the detox phase of treatment, but a staff member will be in regular contact to keep you up-to-date.

"As someone who has spent most of his addicted life stuck in his own head, the beginners yoga work that I’ve done at Valiant has been an unexpected, pleasant surprise. While I was very reluctant at first, I soon realized this was meditation for my body which allowed me to get in touch with pain, anger, and grief long buried from my childhood. I may never be a super cool yoga dude, however my experience here has convinced me that yoga will be a part of my recovery for the rest of my life. I'm super grateful for Malissa’s guidance and patience in helping me establish a new body focused dimension of recovery in my life."

– Jon L.

"The initial weeks and months of recovery were unsettling as I began to distance myself from my addiction. The practice of mindfulness, meditation and yoga was an indispensable compliment to my treatment as I navigated the emotional fluctuations of the withdrawals. This practice has showed me how to step behind my emotions and other dysfunctional coping responses to focus on my inner self and begin rebuilding trust and a refreshing authenticity within myself as well as those I love."

– John W.

"It has been a vital part of my recovery in allowing me to be challenged physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For someone who deals with anxiety, having the tools to know how to surrender and be present has been crucial. Before doing these exercises, I never realized how little time I spent in the present. Mindfulness, meditation, and yoga have helped me find peace from rumination and future tripping by keeping me grounded in the here and now. It will continue to be an important part of my recovery and sobriety."

– Andrew
