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
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
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?
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
