How long medical detox takes depends on many factors, including the type and amount of substance used, how often substances are used and each patient’s overall health. In most cases, medical detox lasts for 4–10 days.
Detoxing at home can be uncomfortable and dangerous. Medically detoxing at a facility where immediate medical care is available around the clock is best. Withdrawal symptoms from substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines may be fatal without prompt medical attention
Yes, medical detox works to rid your body of drugs or alcohol in a safe and supervised environment, but it’s only the first recovery step. Once your body is free of harmful substances, rehabilitation treatment is necessary to stay drug and alcohol-free.
