Can I continue working or going to school while undergoing detox?

No. Detox requires you to completely step away from your daily life for a few days. You’ll often need around-the-clock monitoring and care, which is why you can’t continue to work or go to school during detox.

Will detox be covered by my insurance?

Insurance usually covers detox, but coverage will depend on your insurance provider and the plan you have.

What qualities are important when choosing a detox center?

Look for accreditations from CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) and the Joint Commission. Also, check the licenses and backgrounds of the staff—for detox, you’ll want to see staff with clinical expertise and medical degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is detox?

Detoxing is the process of allowing substances to leave your system and managing withdrawal symptoms that may follow. Your substance use history will affect your detox experience and determine whether or not you need medication-assisted treatment.

When Is detox required?

Whether or not you need detox depends on your history of substance use, including factors such as the type of substance used as well as the duration and level of use. Withdrawal from certain substances, such as benzodiazepines or alcohol, can be life-threatening. That, combined with the physiological effects of frequent exposure to substances,2 means it’s recommended to receive a medical evaluation from a medical professional before attempting to detox.

Can I detox from drugs at home?

For your safety, it’s never recommended to detox from drugs at home without supervision. Not all substance detoxification is lethal. However, withdrawal from certain substances, such as alcohol withdrawal, can potentially be life-threatening.3 More serious symptoms include hallucinations, seizures, and delirium tremens. It’s always safest to detox under the supervision of specialized, experienced medical professionals.

How long does detox typically last in rehab?

The duration of the detoxification process in rehab depends on your substance use background and the substance you’re detoxing from. On average, detox takes 3 to 7 days.

What are the common withdrawal symptoms during detox?

Your withdrawal symptoms will depend on what you’ve been taking, how long you’ve been taking it, and how much you took. But common withdrawal symptoms from drugs and alcohol include malaise, shakes, cognitive impairment, and stomach pains. Certain medications can ease these symptoms and make detox safer and more comfortable.
