Why does leaving Atlantic City support early recovery?
Separation from a triggering environment is a core part of the Still Detox treatment philosophy, and Still Detox New Jersey starts every admission with a 72-hour communication blackout so the first days of detox happen without outside contact.
During the blackout, Still Detox New Jersey clients make no phone calls and have no contact with the outside world, particularly while on a detox protocol. Exceptions are agreed before admission and are limited to cases such as executives and business owners, and approved contact is monitored by staff.
After the blackout, therapist-monitored phone and video contact with family becomes standard, and Atlantic City families come on site for family therapy. Residential clients who are off medication protocols also join outings and outside meetings, a practice leadership states no other facility in the region offers.
