How long does Detox last?
The length of a medically guided detox program varies depending on the individual, the specific substance used, and their overall health. At Wellbrook Recovery, our inpatient drug and alcohol detox typically lasts between four to seven days. During this time, our expert clinical team—led by doctors, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and registered nurses—conducts daily assessments to monitor your withdrawal symptoms. Because addiction recovery is a highly personalized process, we continually adjust your care and medications to ensure you remain as comfortable and safe as possible throughout the stabilization period.
What happens after Detox?
Detox is a critical first step that stabilizes your body, but it is only the beginning of the recovery journey. After you safely complete detox, our team works closely with you to coordinate the next steps and build an individualized treatment plan. For many, this means a seamless transition into our on-campus residential addiction treatment program, where you will engage in intensive group and one-on-one therapy to address the root causes of addiction. As you progress, your continuum of care may also include our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to help you build sustainable coping skills and safely reintegrate into everyday life.
