Frequently Asked Questions

About Detoxification

Medical detoxification is often the essential first step in addiction recovery, addressing physical dependence through medically supervised withdrawal. Professional detox ensures safety and comfort during this challenging process, preparing you physically and mentally for ongoing addiction treatment and recovery work.

The Withdrawal Process

When you stop using substances your body has become dependent on, withdrawal symptoms occur as your brain and body adjust. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to life-threatening medical emergencies depending on substance, duration of use, and individual factors. Medical detox provides safety, symptom management, and support throughout this process.

Substances Requiring Medical Detox

Medical supervision is especially critical for:

  • Alcohol: Withdrawal can cause seizures, delirium tremens (DTs), hallucinations, and death without medical management
  • Benzodiazepines: Similar dangers to alcohol including life-threatening seizures requiring gradual tapering
  • Opioids: While rarely fatal, withdrawal is extremely uncomfortable and often leads to relapse without support
  • Stimulants: Psychological withdrawal including severe depression requires monitoring and support

What Happens During Detox

Medical detox includes comprehensive assessment upon admission, vital sign monitoring (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature), medications to manage symptoms and prevent complications, 24/7 medical and nursing staff availability, nutritional support and hydration, psychiatric evaluation and support, and discharge planning for continuing care. The structured environment provides safety while your body heals.

Medications Used in Detox

Physicians prescribe medications to manage withdrawal safely and comfortably. For alcohol: benzodiazepines prevent seizures and ease anxiety. For opioids: buprenorphine or methadone eliminate withdrawal; clonidine manages symptoms. For benzodiazepines: gradual tapering with long-acting medications. Additional medications address specific symptoms like nausea, insomnia, or anxiety. All medications are closely monitored and adjusted based on your response.

After Detox: Continuing Care

Detox alone doesn't treat addiction - it only addresses physical dependence. Without continuing treatment, relapse rates exceed 90%. Most people transition immediately to residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, or other ongoing care. Quality detox programs include discharge planning connecting you to appropriate next level of care for addressing underlying addiction.
