Detoxification Program

Medical detox is an important first step toward recovery. At Poplar Springs Hospital, we provide a compassionate environment to guide you through the process. Our addiction specialists offer attentive care to help you detox from drugs and alcohol.

Our detox program lasts up to five days. Once complete, we help you figure out next steps, such as entering our inpatient substance use disorder program.

Detox can feel overwhelming. We support and empower you so you can recover and thrive.

At Poplar Springs Hospital, you’ll find:

• Individualized treatment: Medical providers recommend a detoxification protocol based on your needs.
• 24/7 supervision: You are medically monitored around the clock to check that you are progressing well.
• Symptom management: You receive medications to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout detoxification.
• Individual and group therapy: Once you are medically stable, you may attend individual and group therapy sessions to continue your recovery.

Medical Detox: What to Expect

Each person’s detox process is different. Here’s a general idea of the steps you can expect:

1. Intake and assessment: Upon arrival, medical providers assess the severity of your substance withdrawal and recommend a detox plan tailored to your needs.
2. Stabilization: We provide continuous monitoring and interventions to keep you stable and comfortable. You may receive medications to help with withdrawal symptoms.
3. Optional therapy: During your stay, you can (but are not required to) attend individual and group therapy sessions.
4. Next steps: Once your detoxification is complete, we help you figure out the level of care that supports your recovery.
