What Is Medical Detox?

Medical detox is a fundamental first step in treating addiction.

FAQs About Medical Detox

How long is medical detox?

How long detox can take depends on the substance used, withdrawal symptoms and your physical health. Most clients complete the medically supervised detox period in 5–10 days.

Can I detox at home?

We do not recommend detoxing at home. Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and demotivating, leading to relapse. Alcohol and opioids, in particular, have withdrawal symptoms that can be fatal without immediate medical care.

Does medical detox work?

Yes, 24/7 medical supervision ensures your drug or alcohol detox is successful. However, detox is only the first step in addiction treatment; you will continue with additional treatment and counseling to continue your recovery journey.

Will I receive methadone, suboxone, etc. during detox?

The Recovery Village Ridgefield offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as medically appropriate. Your clinical team will determine your needs and eligibility for MAT.

Will I lose my job if I attend medical detox?

Several laws are in place that protect employees when they attend detox and rehab.

How can I pay for medical detox?

Insurance may cover some or all of the cost of medical detox. Without insurance, The Recovery Village Ridgefield can discuss private payment options with you.

Real People, Real Recovery

We have impacted over 60,000 lives. See what our Alumni have to say about their stay with us.

I am still sober, continuing outpatient treatment, living in sober housing, reconnecting with my wife, family and friends... Just living a happier, healthier life that I couldn't have imagined before RVR.

I cannot emphasize enough how influential and inspirational the staff at RVR were during my time there. Treatment is not pretty, easy, or comfortable in any way. Being surrounded by staff who are building you up and rooting for your success on a daily basis, in addition to the clinicians’ varying perspectives on what recovery can look like, is unbelievably empowering.

Every single member of the staff is dedicated to your well-being and recovery. The structure, knowledge and tools, as well, were crucially more helpful than I ever expected them to be. The entire program and all those that support it made RVR a better experience than I could’ve ever imagined going into it.
