Medical Detox From Drugs & Alcohol

What Is Medical Detox?

Medical detox is an important first step in addiction treatment. During a medically supervised detox, the body rids drugs and alcohol from its system, which can involve uncomfortable or dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Our medical team provides 24/7 supervision and treatment for symptoms to make detox as safe and comfortable as possible.

Is medical detox right for me?

Safely quitting drugs or alcohol may require medical detox if any of these apply. We’re here to help.

I keep using drugs or alcohol to prevent feeling uncomfortable withdrawal side effects.

I can't stress enough how important addiction treatment is. I was at my lowest when I got to Orlando Recovery Center and from the first few minutes going through admissions until the day I graduated I was treated with kindness and professionalism. I am in the MA T program and Crystal who is the coordinator of MA T at ORC knows her stuff and she answered all of my questions and concerns. Just want to say thank you to everyone there especially Alicia, Tiffany ,Pat and Crystal. Trust me you won't regret choosing Orlando Recovery Center.

I was in Recovery Village for about a month and a half. I absolutely loved the staff they are all very caring and easy to talk to. Stephanie (BHT) was so wonderful she was very kind and very caring. If you needed to talk she would always listen. My counselor Lindsey was also wonderful, she helped me work through so much.

Overall ORC did an exceptional job on helping me become the best version of myself as possible. From the top, to the bottom, all the staff took great care of me. I spent my 49th birthday 🎂 there on October 6th and it was the first time I was sober on my birthday in 30 years. Everyone cheered for my special day and my sobriety. Today I'm 62 days sober and I will continue to strive to be GREAT and stay sober. My NAME IS JIMMIE ROWRY AND I MATTER!!!! I would recommend ORC to anyone battling ADDICTION, it only works if you work it😎

FAQs About Medical Detox

How long is medical detox?

How long medical detox lasts depends on the substance used, withdrawal symptoms and physical health. Most patients complete medically supervised detox in six to nine days.
