DETOXIFICATION
Without medical treatment and supervision, breaking free of addiction to alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines can be life-threatening.
We admit clients experiencing withdrawal symptoms and substance use disorders into our medically monitored Detoxification Unit. Clients in emergency hospital care can also transfer to our facility to receive full medical detoxification on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week basis.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Detoxification admission is first-come, first-served weekdays from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.; the lobby is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The number of people we can admit on any given day depends on the availability of beds. Intake is closed on the weekend.
Clients stay in our detoxification program between 5 and 7 days.
