How long detox lasts depends on the substance used and the patient’s medical stability. The average stay for medical detox at Coastal Detox of Southern California is typically 3 to 10 days. Detox from alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines often requires a longer, more gradual detox of 5-10 days to manage severe withdrawal risks, while stimulant detox may be a shorter period of 3-7 days.

How long rehab lasts is highly individualized, depending on the severity of the addiction and the patient’s specific needs.

Long-term residential treatment, which is often the most effective for lasting sobriety, lasts 60 to 90 days. The Coastal Detox clinical team then creates a personalized discharge plan to ensure a safe transition to one of our trusted partners for continuing outpatient treatment, such as PHP and IOP, which can extend for several months to a year.Â
The difference between detox and rehab is medical intensity, length of stay, and therapeutic focus. Detox (or medical detoxification) is the first phase of addiction treatment, focusing on safely managing the acute physical withdrawal symptoms from substances, often with 24/7 medical supervision and medication. Rehab (or rehabilitation), which follows detox, is the longer-term therapeutic process that addresses the psychological, emotional, and behavioral roots of addiction through counseling, therapy, and educational groups. Detox stabilizes the body, while rehab builds the foundation for long-term sobriety.
When packing to go to rehab or detox, we recommend bringing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing for about 7-10 days, including athletic wear and sleepwear.
