…Cocaine Withdrawal Detox
Cocaine, like other substances of abuse, stimulates a rush of dopamine, but unlike other substances of abuse, it is a CNT stimulant, not a depressant.

…Outpatient Detox Delivers Better Results than Inpatient Detox
All drug and alcohol treatments at CNT are provided on an outpatient basis, including withdrawal management and detoxification, the most acute levels of care. Addiction has been proven to be a chronic disease, and like for diabetes, HIV or hypertension, treatment should primarily occur in an outpatient setting, as it increases access and reduces stigma. Inpatient detoxification, conversely, is based on the premise that addiction is a behavioral issue and isolates the patient from their home environment to learn modified behaviors, increasing both, stigma and barriers to accessing addiction treatment.
CNT was the first to innovate to the Ambulatory, or Outpatient Detoxification level of care in 2013. CNT offers withdrawal management and detoxification from all substances – alcohol, benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Valium), opiates (opioid pain pills, heroin, Oxycodone, Tramadol, Oxycontin, Percocet, Fentanyl, Tramadol) and anesthetics (ketamine). CNT also offers methadone detox, Suboxone detox, Subutex detox, and buprenorphine detox, when the patient is ready to come off of these medications. CNT’s in-network status allows it to offer immediate withdrawal management, without waiting for authorization.
It has been our experience that individuals utilizing CNT’s Outpatient Detox program usually do far better relative to individuals utilizing inpatient detox programs. One reason is customized medication protocols that rapidly minimize alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Another is Relapse Prevention and Coping Skills learnt in treatment can be tested at home, and patient can work with the therapist on areas that need to be fortified the next day. Lastly, health insurance providers authorize more days of treatment relative to inpatient detoxification – it ensures a gentler detox, as medication taper can be individualized to maintain patient comfort at all times. Smoother withdrawal management results in better engagement in step-down levels of treatment.

Accessing Addiction Treatment from Home is Convenient & Flexible

Oftentimes, women, especially homemakers, feel that they are abandoning their familial responsibilities if they have to go away for treatment. The guilt associated with going to inpatient detoxification for alcohol or drugs causes them to delay accessing treatment. Also, professionals, due to the pressure to deliver results at work, oftentimes do not have the luxury to go away to inpatient detoxification.
Ambulatory Detoxification and Outpatient Withdrawal Management offer such individuals a safe and more effective alternative. CNT being in-network with private health insurance providers also makes it easier to access treatment, as deductibles and co-pays are the lowest possible.
CNT’s Medical Director, Dr. Indra Cidambi, is an expert in women’s issues and ensures that all programs incorporate the special needs of women. Research has shown that a majority of women suffering from substance use disorders, or addiction to drugs and alcohol have experienced trauma earlier in their lives. The trauma may have been physical abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse or sexual abuse. In order to increase the effectiveness of addiction treatment these issues need to be addressed.
CNT utilizes the latest evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT and Motivational Interviewing, or MI. While Medication Assisted Treatment, or MAT is utilized, the core of CNT’s programs is therapy-based to affect the needed lifestyle changes. Integrating AA and NA into treatment is an important facet. All three levels of care are supported by medication management, including naltrexone or Vivitrol, by psychiatrist(s) to address co-occurring psychiatric conditions and residual withdrawal symptoms or cravings. Co-occurring psychological issues usually addressed include, depression, anxiety, ADHD and PTSD.
CNT can also provide DOT evaluations and recommendations for treatment by NAADAC qualified professionals.

Stories of Recovery
CNT is my first detox/PHP treatment. My experience here has been very pleasant thus far. The environment is structured, yet relaxed. Everyone participates as they become comfortable to share their stories, as they are very personal. CNT offered free walk-in support for Thanksgiving, which can keep patients away from trigger situations.

My experience here has been wonderful. I’ve learned a lot and got to open up and figure myself out. i’ve learnt how to act in certain situations, and keep myself calm when I am super stressed out. I like it here at the cnter, everyone is welcoming, everyone is really helpful and there for you whenever you’re upset, mad or just need someone to talk to.

I would like to thank CNT for all they have one for my son. The program’s outpatient approach, I believe, has more success because patients are taught in a more stress free setting, instead of 24-hour confinement. This also allows more family involvement, which helps in recovery. CNT’s program should be a model for other facilities to consider in a patient’s recovery process.

CNT saved my life. The staff and therapists cared for me as a person not just an addict. Helped me believe in the woman I could become. Helped me get through all of my emotional and physical issues I was dealing with at that time and continuous support through my journey.
