Hospital / 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
- A plan for the next level of care
- Rest, hydration and nutrition support
- Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms
- Nursing staff available around the clock

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
Should someone from Corpus Christi stay in Texas for treatment?
For most Texans with a Texas health plan, yes. In-network benefits are easiest to use at Texas programs, family can take part in family sessions, and aftercare near home is simpler to arrange. Some people choose a program in a different part of Texas to get distance from where they used.
How long does medical detox take?
Detox usually takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the substance, how much and how long you have used, and your health. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox can take longer and needs close supervision.
Is detox enough on its own?
Detox manages withdrawal but does not treat addiction itself. The best results come when detox leads straight into residential or outpatient treatment.
