Withdrawal Management for 20+ Substances

Withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances can be dangerous, but medical detox helps manage symptoms safely and protect your health.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The first 24 hours of detox

Once detox begins, you may experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches, chills, fatigue, or nausea, depending on the substance you are using. Throughout the first day, our medical staff will monitor your vital signs closely and provide the appropriate support as symptoms begin to develop.

Here’s what you can expect:

Personalized Assessment – We start with a personalized assessment to understand your symptoms and create a detox plan tailored to your needs. 24/7 medical supervision – Our medical team monitors you 24/7, ensuring your safety and adjusting care as needed throughout the detox process.
Withdrawal begins – Withdrawal can start quickly, often within hours. Our team is ready with 24/7 care to support you immediately. Medication Support – When necessary, we use FDA-approved medications to help manage discomfort and cravings — featuring supportive IV therapies like banana bag infusions to address dehydration and replenish essential nutrients.

RECOVERY BEYOND DETOX

Complete support for detox and beyond

Treating addiction is more than just detox. While getting the substances out of your body makes cravings and withdrawal symptoms less intense, safe and lasting healing requires further monitoring, behavioral therapies, peer support, and medication if necessary. We offer care for every stage so you always have someone to turn to when you need it.

Your questions, answered

What is medical detox?

Medical detox is the process of safely removing drugs or alcohol from your body under the care of medical professionals. It helps manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and prepare you for the next stage of addiction treatment. Medical detox is often the first step toward long-term recovery.

What is medical detox like?

You’ll start with a medical evaluation to assess your health and substance use history. Once detox begins, medications may be given to manage withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable. You’ll be monitored 24/7 to make sure you’re safe and address any complications. You’ll receive personalized care throughout the process, with your treatment plan adjusted as your symptoms improve to help you safely prepare for the next stage of recovery.

What does detox feel like?

Detox feels different for everyone depending on the substance used, the length of use, and your overall health. Some people experience mild discomfort such as fatigue, anxiety, nausea, or difficulty sleeping, while others may have more intense withdrawal symptoms. During medical detox, our team monitors your progress around the clock and provides medications and supportive care when appropriate to help manage symptoms safely and comfortably.

How long does it take for the body to detox?

The amount of time it takes for the body to detox depends on the substance you’ve been using, how long you’ve been using it, your overall health, and how your body responds to treatment. Most people complete medical detox within a few days to about a week, although some substances may require additional monitoring. We strongly recommend medical detox for substances that cause severe withdrawal, including alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines.

What are the symptoms of detox?

Withdrawal symptoms vary based on the substance used, how long it was used, the amount used, and your overall health. Common symptoms include anxiety, nausea, sweating, shaking, headaches, trouble sleeping, and cravings. In some cases, withdrawal can cause serious complications such as seizures or severe dehydration, which is why medical detox provides 24/7 monitoring, medications when needed, and immediate medical support to help keep you safe and as comfortable as possible.

Will I receive medication during detox?

Depending on the substance you’re detoxing from and your medical history, medications may be used to reduce discomfort, manage withdrawal symptoms, prevent complications, and make the detox process safer and more comfortable.

Can I detox at home?

Detoxing at home can be dangerous, especially when withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances that can cause serious complications. Medical detox provides 24/7 monitoring, medications when appropriate, and immediate care if problems arise, helping you detox as safely as possible.

What happens after detox is completed?

Once detox is complete, you’ll transition into the next stage of treatment, which may include individual therapy, group counseling, behavioral therapies, and peer support. These programs help you build the skills and strategies needed to maintain long-term recovery.

How can I convince someone to go to alcohol detox?

Approach the conversation with compassion and understanding. Express concern without judgment and explain how medical detox can make the process safer and more comfortable. Offer to explore treatment options together, answer their questions, and support them throughout the process.
