A Safe Detox, One Day at a Time.
Detox is how you get alcohol or drugs out of your body safely. Here, doctors and nurses watch over you, ease the worst of withdrawal, and help you rest. You don't have to get through it alone.
What detox is
Getting through withdrawal safely.
When you drink or use every day, your body adjusts. Stopping throws it off balance, and that's withdrawal: shaking, sweating, feeling sick, no sleep, strong cravings. How hard it is depends on what you've been using, how much, and for how long.
Medical detox means you go through it with care around you. We check on you often, give medicine when it helps, and keep you comfortable, fed and rested.
Detox is the start, not the whole treatment. Once your body is steady, you move into residential care to work on what's underneath.
What to expect
Your first week, step by step.
Every detox is different. This is what it often looks like.
When you arrive
Settling in
A nurse checks your health, your history and what you've been using. You get your room, a meal, and a plan for the next few days.
Days one to three
The hardest part
For many people, withdrawal is strongest in the first few days. Staff check on you often and give medicine to ease symptoms. Your only job is to rest.
Days four to seven
Feeling steadier
Sleep and appetite start to come back. When you're ready, you can join a group or talk one-on-one with a counselor.
What comes next
Into residential care
Once your body is stable, you move into residential treatment with people who already know you.
