What is detox?
Detox, or withdrawal management, is the first step of treatment. It's the process of eliminating alcohol or drugs from your body safely, under 24/7 medical supervision. If you are presently using/abusing alcohol, opioids like heroin, fentanyl or prescription opiates/painkillers, or benzodiazepines or other sedatives, you must go through Withdrawal Management before you can begin your short and/or long-term residential treatment.
