What medical detox involves

In medical detox, staff watch your vital signs, manage symptoms with medication and keep you safe and comfortable while your body clears the substance. Programs may be hospital-based or in a licensed residential detox unit.

Many Texas residential programs have detox on site, so you can move straight into treatment without a gap.

What to expect

• Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
• 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

Before you choose medical detox

Detox manages withdrawal; it doesn't treat addiction by itself. When you call detox programs near San Marcos, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.

Questions to ask

• Which substances does the program manage?
• Is a physician on call around the clock?
• Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
