Why Choose Medical Detox?
Detoxification is the body’s natural process of eliminating drugs or alcohol—but when physical dependence is present, quitting without medical care can be dangerous and even life-threatening.
At RCA Raritan Bay, we provide 24/7 medically monitored detox to promote your safety, ease discomfort, and give you the best possible start to your recovery. With a full continuum of care, we make it easy to mentally and emotionally transition into ongoing treatment when you’re ready.
For many, detox can be the first step toward lasting freedom from addiction

Substances We Treat at RCA at Raritan Bay
Our detox team is experienced in managing withdrawal from a wide variety of substances, including:
Alcohol
Alcohol withdrawal can cause serious, even life-threatening complications like seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens (DTs). Medical monitoring is essential for your safety.
Opioids
From heroin to fentanyl to prescription pain medications, opioid detox can involve flu-like symptoms, cravings, and emotional distress. MAT may be used to support the process.
Benzodiazepines
Drugs like Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin require gradual tapering under medical supervision to avoid dangerous withdrawal effects, including seizures.
Polysubstance Use
Many patients use more than one substance. Our experienced team is trained to safely manage complex detox cases.

Beginning Recovery During Detox

- Your transition into the recommended next step in your recovery journey, which may be residential or outpatient care
- Any mental health needs or diagnoses and how they impact your substance use
- Family involvement and communication
- Long-term recovery goals and planning
This early engagement helps build momentum and a strong foundation for your recovery journey.
Seamless Transition to Residential Treatment
Once detox is complete, we make your next step simple. RCA Raritan Bay offers on-site residential treatment—meaning you can move directly into the next level of care without delay or disruption.
We coordinate:
- Orientation into your full treatment schedule
- Connection to your therapist and clinical team
- Family education and virtual support groups
- Continuity in medication and mental health care
- Creation of your individualized treatment plan
By the time detox is complete, you’ll already be supported by your full care team.
