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
- Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms
- Nursing staff available around the clock
- A plan for the next level of care
- Medical screening and vital-sign checks on arrival
Medical Detox in Texas: what to know

Questions worth asking
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
