One of the first decisions to make when pursuing recovery is whether to undergo medical detox with the help of a rehab and treatment center. Not every person struggling with addiction requires medical detox, but many do. Our medical detox program may be necessary if:
Yes, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) has been shown to reduce the risk of relapse for many people struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction. By combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy, MAT helps stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and ease withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stay engaged in recovery.

Throughout the process, you’ll be monitored 24/7 by trained professionals who adjust your care as needed.

Drug detox is the process of clearing substances from your body while managing the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal. It’s often the first step in addiction treatment, helping you stabilize so you can begin recovery with a clearer mind and a safer physical state.
At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, detox is medically supervised, meaning our team monitors your health 24/7 and may use medications when appropriate to ease discomfort and reduce risks.

Detoxing from drugs on your own at home can be dangerous and is not recommended, especially for substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, which can cause serious withdrawal symptoms.
Without medical supervision, you risk complications such as seizures, dehydration, or relapse due to unmanaged discomfort.
At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, we provide 24/7 medical care to ensure detox is as safe and comfortable as possible. If you’re thinking about quitting, it’s important to do it in a setting where your health is closely monitored and support is available every step of the way.
During drug detox, the types of medications used depend on the substance involved and your specific needs.
At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, our medical team may use FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and help stabilize your physical and mental health.
For opioid detox, this can include medications like buprenorphine or methadone. For alcohol, medications like benzodiazepines or anticonvulsants may be used to prevent seizures and manage anxiety. Other supportive medications may also be prescribed to treat nausea, insomnia, or mood symptoms.
Every detox plan is personalized and closely monitored to keep you safe and comfortable throughout the process.
When you detox from drugs, your body begins clearing the substance from your system, which can trigger withdrawal symptoms as your brain and body adjust.
These symptoms vary depending on the substance, how long you’ve been using it, and your overall health, but they can include anxiety, nausea, sweating, insomnia, muscle aches, or more serious complications like seizures.
At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, detox happens in a medically supervised setting, where our team monitors your vital signs, manages symptoms with medication if needed, and provides emotional support to keep you safe and comfortable as you take the first step toward recovery.
It’s common to feel sick during drug detox, especially in the early stages, as your body adjusts to being without the substance.
You might experience symptoms like nausea, sweating, anxiety, restlessness, or trouble sleeping. The intensity depends on factors like the substance used, how long you’ve been using it, and your overall health.
Our medical team is available 24/7 to manage these symptoms and help you stay as comfortable as possible. We use evidence-based care and, when appropriate, medications to ease discomfort and reduce risks, so you can detox safely and start feeling better.
After drug detox, the next step is continuing treatment to address the emotional, behavioral, and psychological aspects of addiction. Detox helps clear your body of substances, but lasting recovery requires more than just physical stabilization.
At NOLA Detox & Recovery Center, once you’ve completed detox, you’ll transition into a personalized treatment plan that may include residential care, outpatient therapy, group sessions, and support for co-occurring mental health conditions. This ongoing care is essential for building coping skills, addressing the root causes of substance use, and creating a foundation for long-term recovery.
