Hospital / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisWhat medical detox involves
Medical detox is supervised withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, with doctors and nurses who can treat symptoms as they come. It is the safest way to stop alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, where withdrawal can be severe or even dangerous.
Detox usually lasts 3 to 10 days. It is the first step, not the whole treatment, so a good detox program plans your transfer to residential or outpatient care before you leave.
What to expect
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal

How long does medical detox take?
Detox usually takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the substance, how much and how long you have used, and your health. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox can take longer and needs close supervision.
Is detox enough on its own?
Detox manages withdrawal but does not treat addiction itself. The best results come when detox leads straight into residential or outpatient treatment.
