Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout 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
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
Medical Detox in Texas: what to know

Questions to ask

- Is a physician on call around the clock?

Frequently asked questions
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.
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
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.
