Hospital / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisWhat 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
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
Before you choose medical detox
Detox manages withdrawal; it doesn't treat addiction by itself. When you call detox programs near Lakehills, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.
What to ask a program
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Is a physician on call around the clock?
