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

• Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms
• Nursing staff available around the clock
• Rest, hydration and nutrition support
• Medical screening and vital-sign checks on arrival

Before you choose medical detox

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

Questions worth asking

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