Hospital / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout medical detox
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.
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
- Which substances does the program manage?
- Is a physician on call around the clock?
- Does it start buprenorphine for opioid withdrawal?
- Can it transfer me straight into treatment?
