What Is Medical Detox?

Medical detox, or inpatient medical stabilization, is the first step for many individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorder. Attempting to stop drug or alcohol use on your own can be dangerous, and in some cases, life-threatening. Our medically supervised environment ensures you or your loved one can detox safely and with dignity.

Our typical hospital-based stay lasts 3-5 days, providing support, monitoring, and stabilization during acute withdrawal symptoms. 

When to consider medical detox

When to Consider Medical Detox

It may be time to consider medical detox if you or someone you care about:

  • Experiences withdrawal symptoms (tremors, sweating, anxiety, nausea) when trying to stop
  • Feels unable to stop using substances despite wanting to
  • Uses drugs or alcohol to avoid feeling sick or to function daily
  • Has tried to quit before but relapsed due to withdrawal symptoms
  • Has co-occurring health concerns that make withdrawal more dangerous
  • Is at risk of serious complications from stopping substances abruptly 

If any of these signs sound familiar, seeking medical stabilization could be the safest and most supportive next step. New Vision is here to help guide you toward recovery with compassion and expert care. 

Who We Help

We welcome adults ages 18 and older who are currently using substances or are in active withdrawal. Substance use disorder is a medical condition, not a moral failing, and we treat every patient with the compassion and respect they deserve.

  • Alcohol
  • Benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Xanax)
  • Opioids (e.g., heroin, oxycodone)
  • Methamphetamine
  • Cocaine
  • Prescription medications
  • Multiple or combined substances
