Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisHow medical detox works
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
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
Medical Detox in Texas: what to know

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