What is detox, and why is it necessary?
Detoxification (detox) is the process of removing harmful substances from your body, specifically alcohol or drugs. It is an essential first step in addiction treatment as it allows your body to stabilize and begin healing. Detox helps manage withdrawal symptoms safely, preparing you for further treatment and recovery.

The length of detox varies depending on the substance being detoxed from, the severity of addiction, and your individual health condition. Typically, detox lasts from a few days to a week. Our team at Arrowwood Addiction Treatment Center closely monitors clients throughout the process to ensure their safety and comfort.
What happens during the detox process at Arrowwood?
At Arrowwood Addiction Treatment Center, detox is medically supervised to ensure the process is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Medical professionals will monitor your symptoms and provide appropriate interventions, such as medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications. Throughout detox, you’ll receive 24/7 support to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

Do I need to be admitted to a hospital for detox?
Detoxification does not always require hospitalization, but it depends on the severity of the addiction and the substances involved. At Arrowwood Addiction Treatment Center, we provide medically supervised detox in a comfortable, secure environment. If a higher level of medical care is needed, we may refer you to a specialized hospital setting.
