Residential / 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
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Counseling to start treatment planning
Medical Detox in Texas: what to know
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 to ask
- Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
- Is a physician on call around the clock?

Frequently asked questions
Should someone from Plainview stay in Texas for treatment?
For most Texans with a Texas health plan, yes. In-network benefits are easiest to use at Texas programs, family can take part in family sessions, and aftercare near home is simpler to arrange. Some people choose a program in a different part of Texas to get distance from where they used.
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.
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.
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.
