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.
Detox manages withdrawal; it doesn't treat addiction by itself. When you call detox programs near Waxahachie, ask whether they can move you straight into residential or outpatient treatment so there's no gap after discharge.
Questions to ask
- Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
- Is a physician on call around the clock?
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
