Substances We Treat in Detox
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.
