Hospital / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout medical detox
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
- Nursing staff available around the clock
- Medical screening and vital-sign checks on arrival
- Medication to ease withdrawal symptoms
- Rest, hydration and nutrition support

Frequently asked questions
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 do I get into medical detox near Schertz?
Most admissions start with a phone call. A specialist asks a few questions about substance use, health and insurance, then helps you find a program with an opening. Many residential programs in Texas can admit someone within a day or two once insurance is verified.
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.
