Finding a drug detox center is the first step toward reclaiming your life from addiction. Knowing what to expect can ease anxiety and help you prepare for the journey ahead.
When you arrive at a detox center, you'll undergo a comprehensive assessment. Medical professionals evaluate your health, substance use history, and any co-occurring conditions to create your treatment plan.
Medical detox typically lasts 3-10 days, depending on the substance and severity of dependence. During this time, you're monitored around the clock as your body clears the substance.
Medications may be used to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications. Your medical team adjusts your care based on how you respond to treatment.
Emotional support is just as important as medical care. Counselors and support staff help you process the emotional aspects of early recovery.
