Medical detox · 5–10 days

Physician-supervised detox — never “cold turkey”

Quitting alcohol, fentanyl, or meth without medical supervision can be dangerous. Our detox is physician-led with 24/7 nursing, comfort medication, and continuous monitoring — the opposite of an unstaffed anexo.

01

Medical assessment at admission

Clinical history, vitals, and an individualized detox plan based on the substance and length of use.

02

Supervised stabilization

Medical withdrawal management with medication, hydration, and 24/7 nursing monitoring.

03

Transition to residential

Detox treats physical dependence; the residential program treats the causes. Same-day transition.

Frequently asked questions

How much does detox cost?
Detox (5–10 days) is included at no extra cost in the residential program: $3,000–$3,500 USD a month, all-inclusive.
Which substances do you manage?
Alcohol, opioids (including fentanyl), methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, and polysubstance use. The protocol is tailored case by case.
Is it painful or dangerous?
With medical supervision, withdrawal is managed with medication and continuous monitoring to keep it as safe and dignified as possible. Never quit alcohol or benzodiazepines abruptly without medical support.
