MEDICAL DETOX EXPLAINED

What actually happens during medical detox?

Dr. Rostislav Ignatov, Chief Medical Officer at The Haven Detox, explains what your medical team looks for during withdrawal, how medications may be used, and why detox should never be treated as one-size-fits-all.

“Your detox plan is built just for you.”

— Dr. Rostislav Ignatov, Chief Medical Officer

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.

Personalized Assessment

We start by listening. Tell us what you have been using, how long you have been using it, what withdrawal has been like before, and how you feel now so we can build a medical detox plan around you.

Ongoing Medical Monitoring

You will have support day and night. Your medical and nursing team monitors how your body is responding and can step in when symptoms change or you need more help.

Managing Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal may cause anxiety, nausea, sweating, shaking, headaches, fatigue, cravings, sleep problems, or other symptoms, so your care is adjusted based on how you are actually responding.

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.

This was my first detox center ever and I couldn’t say enough great things about this place. Techs are amazing! Nurses, doctors, chefs, my therapist definitely helped me with some issues that I was facing and I came in sober and ready! Whether it’s your first time in detox or your 20th, there is no judgement and they truly care for everyone’s recovery.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I was incredibly scared about any withdrawal symptoms I might have and the medical staff was so on point with comfort medication that made it so unbelievably easy. The staff, nursing, techs, client care was top tier. 

Tammie R.

I was so scared and nervous upon just asking for help. Thank you God I came here the staff are so caring and understanding no judgment was passed at. Morning noon or night they are here for you. This has been the best experience of my life and after detox they make all the arrangements for you and are more than happy to do. Thank you so much to all the staff for the loving care

Your questions, answered

What is medical detox?

Medical detox is medically supervised care that helps you stop using drugs or alcohol while withdrawal symptoms are monitored and treated. Depending on your needs, care may include medication, hydration, vital-sign monitoring, and support for symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, shaking, cravings, pain, or trouble sleeping.

How long does medical detox take?

Medical detox usually lasts a few days to about a week, but the exact timeline depends on your situation. How long you need support can vary based on what you’ve been using, how long and how often you’ve been using it, your overall health, and how your body responds to treatment.

How much does medical detox cost?

The cost of medical detox depends on the level of care you need, how long you stay, and whether you use insurance or choose to pay out of pocket. The Haven Detox works with many commercial insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE, MultiPlan, and many others. Call us today to verify your insurance benefits or ask about out-of-pocket costs. 

When should I seek medical help for drug or alcohol withdrawal?

You should seek medical help if your withdrawal symptoms are severe, getting worse, or hard to manage on your own. Warning signs can include severe shaking, repeated vomiting, dehydration, confusion, intense anxiety or panic, or a history of seizures. 

Will I receive medication during detox?

You may receive medication during medical detox if your care team believes it can help manage withdrawal symptoms or reduce certain risks. The type of medication used depends on what you are withdrawing from, your medical history, your symptoms, and how your body responds during treatment.

Can I detox from drugs or alcohol at home?

Detoxing at home is not safe for everyone, especially if you have a history of severe withdrawal or serious health concerns. Some withdrawal symptoms can become difficult or dangerous to manage without medical support, so it is best to speak with a medical professional before trying to detox on your own.

Is medical detox the same as rehab?

No, medical detox and rehab are different. Detox focuses on helping you get through withdrawal and become medically stable, while rehab focuses on the behaviors, mental health concerns, triggers, and coping skills that support continued recovery.

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.
