Programs Available at Windward Way Recovery

The programs offered by the recovery center to their clients are given below:

Detox

Windward Way rehab utilizes a transitional recovery model that helps patients move into less structured treatment programs. This model also helps them receive round-the-clock supervision from specialized doctors and clinicians to gain skills and confidence in sobriety. On top of that, stopping an addictive substance abruptly can be dangerous, uncomfortable, and even life-threatening. This is why a person should never detox without appropriate support. Rehab’s medically supervised detox and dually accredited addiction program help people to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.

We firmly believe that a person who is physically or mentally unwell will struggle to tackle their physical or mental health issues. Therefore, detox’s purpose is to keep a person’s dignity unscathed and tackle the physical side of addiction. The detox process of Windward’s health care minimizes the negative impact of withdrawal symptoms and helps make the patient’s experience comfortable and safe.
