Drug & Alcohol Detox in Maryland

What Is Detox?

Detoxification (often shortened to detox) is the first critical step in overcoming substance abuse and addiction. It refers to the medical process of clearing toxins—such as drugs, alcohol, or prescription medication—from the body. Detox is essential for individuals who are physically dependent on substances and is often the foundation of an effective addiction recovery program.

The detox process can be difficult, as it involves managing withdrawal symptoms that can range from mild to severe. These symptoms can include anxiety, nausea, headaches, tremors, and in some cases, life-threatening complications. Substances that typically require professional withdrawal management include alcohol, opioids (e.g., heroin, prescription painkillers like oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone, fentanyl), benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam), cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine, marijuana (for heavy, long-term users), prescription stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin), barbiturates (e.g., phenobarbital, secobarbital), sedative-hypnotics (e.g., Ambien), synthetic drugs (e.g., synthetic cannabinoids, bath salts), and even hallucinogens (e.g., PCP, LSD in some cases). That’s why it’s crucial to undergo detoxification under the supervision of a trained medical team in a safe and supportive environment.
