How medical detox works

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

• Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
• Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
• Symptom monitoring several times a day
• A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care

Before you choose medical detox

Texas requires licensed detox programs to complete a face-to-face history and physical within 24 hours of admission and to guarantee continuous access to emergency medical care. Outpatient detox is allowed only alongside outpatient treatment, never on its own.

Questions to ask

• Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
• Is a physician on call around the clock?
• Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
