How medical detox works

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

• A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
• Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
• Counseling to start treatment planning
• 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 Temple, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.

What to ask a program

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