Understanding addiction and choosing the right detox facility can feel overwhelming. Substance use disorder impacts every part of life, which is why our team at Magnolia City Detox is here to guide you. We encourage you to contact our admissions coordinators with any questions. In the meantime, explore some of the most common questions we receive to help you take the first step toward recovery with confidence.
Detox is the first stage of recovery where the body eliminates toxins from drugs or alcohol under medical supervision. The process is carefully monitored to ensure safety and comfort, while withdrawal symptoms are managed through medication and holistic support.
Detox can be physically and emotionally challenging, but it does not have to be painful. During withdrawal, you may experience:
- Headaches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sweating or chills
- Muscle aches or tremors
Our licensed medical staff provides 24/7 care, using medication-assisted treatment and emotional support to help minimize discomfort. Many clients report feeling relief and clarity within just a few days.
Withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance, frequency, and duration of use, but the most common symptoms include:
- Cravings
- Flu-like symptoms
- Mood swings
At Magnolia City Detox, medical professionals monitor clients closely and provide individualized support to ensure safe and manageable detoxification.
No. Alcohol detox is different from other types of detox because alcohol affects both the body and the central nervous system differently from drugs. Heavy drinkers often develop physical dependence, which requires medical management to prevent dangerous complications such as seizures or delirium tremens (DTs).
Alcohol detox typically involves:
- 24-hour medical supervision
- Medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms
- Nutritional support and hydration therapy
- Individual counseling
The process may take several days to several weeks, depending on the person’s history of alcohol use.
Outpatient Detox: Allows individuals to detox while living at home. Clients attend medical appointments and follow a withdrawal plan. It typically lasts 4 to 10 days and is best for mild withdrawal cases.
Residential (Inpatient) Detox: Requires staying at the treatment facility for 24/7 monitoring. It provides a higher level of safety, immediate medical support, and round-the-clock care — ideal for moderate to severe cases or individuals with co-occurring disorders.
At Magnolia City Detox, we specialize in inpatient medical detox, ensuring your safety every step of the way.
Detoxing alone can be life-threatening due to the risks of seizures, dehydration, and unpredictable changes in heart rate or blood pressure. At Magnolia City Detox, your safety is our top priority. Our medical team monitors vital signs daily, provides medications as needed, and ensures comfort and stability through the entire detox process.
Near the end of detox, our counselors meet with you one-on-one to plan your next step. This may include transitioning to:
- Residential treatment (step-down care)
- Outpatient therapy
- Support groups and relapse prevention programs
Recovery is a lifelong process, and detox is just the beginning. Our goal is to help you move forward with confidence and a clear plan for continued success.
We provide a continuum of care, including:
- Medical Detox – Medically supervised withdrawal management.
- Stabilization – Transition phase with therapy and emotional support.
- Residential Treatment – In-depth therapy, skill-building, and relapse prevention.
