What Does Detox Mean at Drug Rehabs?

Our licensed team monitors your health around the clock and uses medication support when needed to keep you stable and prepare you for ongoing treatment.
Why Choose
Liberty Bay Recovery
24/7 Medical Supervision
Nurse practitioners monitor symptoms and vital signs around the clock. Safety remains the priority from admission through discharge.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Clinicians use FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms. Every plan is tailored to history, current use, and personal goals.
Comfortable Recovery Environment
Clients stay in double rooms with private baths and chef-prepared meals. Snacks and supportive staff are available at all times.
Personalized Dual Diagnosis Support
Many people entering detox also face depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis approach treats mental health and substance use together.
Our Medical Detox Process
Detox typically lasts 3 to 7 days, with an average stay of 6 days. A clinician reviews your health, substance history, and goals, then builds a clear plan for care and next steps.
What to Expect During Detox
During drug and alcohol detox, your body adjusts to life without substances. Common withdrawal symptoms include:
- Mood changes such as anxiety or irritability
- Muscle aches, headache, and heavy fatigue
- Sleep disruption with vivid or intense dreams
- Appetite shifts and stomach discomfort
- Faster pulse and higher blood pressure
- In severe cases, seizures or delirium tremens
Our team checks vital signs frequently, manages medications, and supports hydration and nutrition. You’ll receive steady reassurance and a calm, structured routine.

Licensed clinicians are on site at all times. We are near major hospitals and follow emergency procedures. For urgent medical symptoms, call 911 right away.
