Drug Detox | PCP (The Perry Clayman Project)
Drug addiction can quickly take control of every aspect of life, affecting physical and mental health, relationships, and personal stability. Detoxing is often the critical first step in overcoming drug and alcohol addiction. When physical dependence develops, attempting to stop drug use without medical support can be dangerous and often unsuccessful. At PCP, we provide specialist drug and alcohol detox services and addiction treatment in a safe, supportive environment at our CQC-registered facility in Luton, Bedfordshire, helping clients from across the UK begin their recovery journey safely.
We offer a range of detox services tailored to individual needs.
Every client receives a comprehensive assessment to ensure their treatment plan addresses all underlying factors contributing to addiction.

What Are the Signs You Need Drug Detox?
Recognising when professional drug detox is necessary can be life-saving, as both physical and psychological symptoms may indicate the need for expert intervention. Attempting to detox at home from certain substances can be dangerous.
Physical symptoms: Sweating, nausea, vomiting, shaking, headaches, insomnia, muscle aches, rapid heartbeat
Psychological symptoms: Severe anxiety, depression, mood swings, intense drug cravings, irritability, confusion, panic attacks
Dangerous withdrawal signs: Delirium tremens, seizures, extreme agitation, hallucinations, breathing difficulties – these require immediate medical attention
Behavioural indicators: Ongoing drug abuse leading to the need for detoxification, inability to stop drug use despite wanting to, using drugs primarily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, multiple failed attempts at self-detox, continuing use despite harmful consequences
While many physical symptoms may subside after detox, psychological dependence can persist and often requires ongoing therapeutic support to address the mental and emotional aspects of recovery.
How Long Does Drug Detox Take?
The drug detox process is a medically supervised procedure that typically takes 7 to 10 days, though duration varies significantly depending on the substance, length of use, and individual health factors to ensure safety. Some substances like benzodiazepines may require longer detox periods due to extended withdrawal syndromes and the physical aspects of withdrawal, while others like opioids generally follow more predictable timelines. Your detox timeline is personalised based on comprehensive medical assessment, ongoing evaluation, and personal circumstances such as your health status and substance use history. It’s important to understand that the detox process is often the initial phase before longer-term addiction treatment and recovery programmes.
Who Is This Treatment For?

People who have attempted home drug detox unsuccessfully or unsafely
