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
- Nursing staff available around the clock
- Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms
- Rest, hydration and nutrition support
- A plan for the next level of care
Before you choose medical detox
Texas requires licensed detox programs to complete a face-to-face history and physical within 24 hours of admission and to guarantee continuous access to emergency medical care. Outpatient detox is allowed only alongside outpatient treatment, never on its own.
Questions worth asking
- Is a physician on call around the clock?
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?

Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Texas, Health and Safety Code Chapter 462 also lets a family member or other adult apply to the county court for court-ordered treatment, with a physician's certificate attached, when someone's addiction makes them likely to cause serious harm or keep deteriorating. See our guide to court-ordered treatment in Texas.
Does insurance cover medical detox in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
How long does medical detox take?
Detox usually takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the substance, how much and how long you have used, and your health. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox can take longer and needs close supervision.
Is detox enough on its own?
Detox manages withdrawal but does not treat addiction itself. The best results come when detox leads straight into residential or outpatient treatment.
