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 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 Killeen, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.

Questions to ask

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