This could be individuals who haven’t abused a substance for a long time or only taking small doses.

At Essence, we offer both sub-acute and medical detox programs. The main difference between these two options is the intensity of the treatment process. Sub-acute treatment is for those less likely to have severe withdrawal symptoms. This means you don’t necessarily need constant medical support and attention.
On the other hand, medical detox is provided with around-the-clock support. An inpatient medical detox will best fit your needs if you have serious withdrawal symptoms. It will provide the necessary care and support to facilitate effective recovery. You don’t have to decide if you are confused about which treatment options suit your needs. Essence Health & Wellness is here for you to help you determine the best treatment types.
