Common concerns

It's normal to have questions. Here's what most people worry about first.

Will you judge me?

Absolutely not. Our entire team understands that addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing. You'll be treated with the same dignity and respect as any other patient seeking medical care.

Many of our staff members are in recovery themselves. They know what you're going through, and they're here to help—not judge.

Do I really need medical detox?

If you're asking this question, it's worth having a conversation with our medical team. Our board-certified physicians can assess your situation over the phone and provide honest guidance about whether medical detox is right for you. We'll never pressure you into treatment you don't need.

What if I change my mind?

You're in complete control. Calling us doesn't obligate you to anything. Coming to our facility doesn't obligate you to stay. While we strongly encourage completing your medical detox for your safety, you have the right to leave at any time.

What we treat

Safe, medically-supervised detox for the substances that need it most

Alcohol Withdrawal

Stopping alcohol suddenly can cause dangerous seizures. Our physicians provide 24/7 monitoring and medications to prevent complications.

Typical stay: 5-7 days

Opioid Detox

Heroin, fentanyl, OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin. We manage withdrawal symptoms with comfort medications so you can detox safely.

Typical stay: 5-7 days

Benzodiazepine Detox

Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan. Benzos require slow, careful tapering. We create a safe reduction schedule to prevent seizures.

Typical stay: 7-10 days (tapering protocol)

Polysubstance Use

Using multiple substances together (e.g., alcohol + benzos, opioids + alcohol) requires specialized care. Our team handles complex cases.

Typical stay: Varies based on substances

Why medical detox?

Certain substances (alcohol, benzos, opioids) can be dangerous—even life-threatening—to stop suddenly. Medical detox means:

  • 24/7 physician monitoring to prevent seizures and medical complications
  • Comfort medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms (nausea, anxiety, pain)
  • 95% safer than attempting to detox at home alone
  • Connection to ongoing treatment after detox (rehab, therapy, support)
