What to expect in your first week of detox

Medically-supervised detox is designed to make withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible. It begins with a medical assessment so care is tailored to you.

Around the clock, nurses and physicians monitor your comfort and, where appropriate, use medication to ease symptoms. Rest, hydration and calm surroundings do the rest.

Detox isn't the finish line — it's the foundation. When your body is stable, treatment can address the reasons underneath. Most people are surprised by how much lighter they feel by the end of the first week.
