About medical detox

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
• Nursing staff available around the clock
• Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms

Before you choose medical detox

Detox manages withdrawal; it doesn't treat addiction by itself. When you call detox programs near Gun Barrel City, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.

What to ask a program

• Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
• Which substances does the program manage?
• Is a physician on call around the clock?
