Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisWhat medical detox involves
Medically supervised detox takes the guesswork and much of the fear out of quitting. Instead of white-knuckling withdrawal at home, you have a care team managing nausea, anxiety, sleeplessness and cravings around the clock.
The length of detox depends on what you use, how much and for how long, plus your overall health.
What to expect
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long

Questions to ask

- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
