What Is Detox?
“Detox” is short for detoxification. It refers to the process of removing toxic substances from the body, including drugs and alcohol, under professional medical supervision. Detox is typically a crucial first step in addiction recovery.

Are you or someone you care for struggling with an alcohol or drug addiction? Turn to Hygea Healthcare for drug and alcohol detox in Baltimore.
How Does Detox Help Addiction Recovery?
Detox plays a pivotal role in addiction recovery by addressing the physical aspect of substance dependence. It is a structured and medically supervised process during which individuals can safely navigate withdrawal and eliminate drugs or alcohol from their bodies.
By easing the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms and managing potential health risks, detox sets the stage for those battling addiction to move forward in their recovery journey with greater stability and clarity.
Beyond the physical benefits, completing detox can instill a sense of empowerment and readiness to engage in further treatment. By breaking the cycle of physical dependence and providing a foundation for ongoing recovery efforts, detox is a stepping stone toward long-term sobriety and enhanced well-being.
How Long Does Detox Last?
Our inpatient detox services generally last between seven and ten days. The duration of our services depends on several factors, including the substance involved, our patient’s level of dependence and overall health, and our detox protocols.
Why Medical Supervision Is Essential During Detox
When someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol, they may experience mild to severe withdrawal symptoms if they stop using these substances. Medical supervision helps mitigate health risks associated with withdrawal.
During detox, our team at Hygea Health:
- Monitors vital signs
- Works to manage potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms
- Intervenes promptly in medical emergencies
- Can use medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings
Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT)
Above, we mentioned that our team may use medications during detox to make going through withdrawal much more manageable. This is called medication-assisted treatment (MAT). It is advantageous for individuals in detox, as well as those at other stages of recovery. MAT can reduce cravings, mitigate the risks of severe withdrawal symptoms, and improve recovery outcomes.
