What detox is — and is not — how it differs by substance and setting, and what must come next.
Alcohol and benzodiazepines can cause life-threatening withdrawal and should be managed medically. Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening but very uncomfortable and carries overdose risk afterward.
Detox is a first step. Ideally the program arranges your next level of care — residential, partial hospitalization or outpatient — before you leave.
Sometimes, for milder withdrawal risk and a stable, supportive home. A clinician decides what is safe.
4 of 12 listed programs report accepting TRICARE, including Infinity Recovery, Right Path Recovery, San Diego Comprehensive Treatment, and Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital. Call to confirm your plan and level of care.
8 of 12 listed programs report accepting Medicaid, including El Dorado Community Service Center, Fashion Valley Comprehensive Treatment, Healing Oaks Clinic, and McAlister Institute for Trt and Educ. Medicaid coverage varies by state plan, so verify before admission.
Treatment is one step. The months after are where recovery is tested — line up outpatient care and support near home before you leave.
