What medical detox involves

Medical detox is supervised withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, with doctors and nurses who can treat symptoms as they come. It is the safest way to stop alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, where withdrawal can be severe or even dangerous.

Detox usually lasts 3 to 10 days. It is the first step, not the whole treatment, so a good detox program plans your transfer to residential or outpatient care before you leave.

What to expect

• A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
• Symptom monitoring several times a day
• Counseling to start treatment planning
• Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long

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.

What to ask a program

• Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
• Is a physician on call around the clock?
• Which substances does the program manage?
