Detoxification (detox) is the process of clearing a substance from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms. Medically supervised detox can make withdrawal safer and more comfortable.
Withdrawal from alcohol and from benzodiazepines can be dangerous and should not be attempted alone. Detox is the first stage of care, not a complete treatment - most people continue into a residential or outpatient program afterward.
Frequently asked questions
How many detox centers are there in Alabama?
Addiction Rehab Call lists 17 detox centers in Alabama. Of these, 16 accept Medicaid, 15 accept Medicare, 15 accept private health insurance and 16 accept cash or self-payment. Listings come from SAMHSA's public treatment locator, so confirm details with the facility.
Is it safe to detox at home?
It depends on the substance. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can cause seizures and other serious complications, so medical supervision is strongly recommended. Talk with a medical professional before stopping.
What happens after detox?
Detox addresses physical withdrawal but not the underlying causes of addiction. Most people continue with residential or outpatient treatment, counseling and ongoing support.
What is the difference between residential, hospital and outpatient detox?
Hospital inpatient detox is delivered in a hospital with medical staff on site. Residential detox is a non-hospital facility where you stay during withdrawal. Outpatient detox lets you live at home and visit for monitoring and medication.
In crisis? Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 1-800-662-HELP (4357), SAMHSA's free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral line. In an emergency, call 911.
