At Paragon, we strive for the highest standards in private detox treatment and care. Often, treatment centers that hold themselves out as high-end luxury facilities don’t provide anything close to a top-tier level of care, let alone even effective care. Many medical detox centers do not carry the proper licenses or employ an adequately trained staff. In fact, many of these so-called “high-end” private medical detox facilities house their clients in substandard unsupervised motel rooms or in a “community” or “sober” living house rather than in a suitable clinical environment with a supervised staff and around-the-clock professional medical care.

Given the seriousness of drug addiction and the withdrawal process, we find these arrangements to be insufficient and irresponsible (if not hazardous) with respect to the clients’ best interests. Detoxification from alcohol, opiates, benzodiazepines and other similar substances is an in-depth process and is unique to each individual client. A safe and effective treatment plan calls for assessments (physical and psychiatric), medical oversight and protocols that should only be directed and carried out by highly experienced medical and treatment professionals who are subject to credentialing and oversight by all applicable authorities. This is what our clients will receive at Paragon.

Our program includes the latest evidence-based medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, individual and group therapy sessions, around-the-clock nursing, a properly supervised nutrition plan and a staff-to-client ratio of 4-1. Because of our exceptional staff-to-client ratio, we can deliver continuous clinical monitoring and personal and compassionate attention to our clients, which is crucial for a successful detox and withdrawal process. All of these factors go into creating the beginnings of a sound foundation for recovery.
