What Is Detox & Why Is It Important?

Drug and alcohol detoxification, commonly known as detox, is the initial, medically supervised process of removing toxic drugs and alcohol from the body. This is a crucial first step to addiction rehab, and only a licensed detox center can safely manage the physical withdrawal symptoms that occur when a person stops using drugs or alcohol after chronic abuse. Withdrawal is not only uncomfortable, it can be dangerous or even deadly if not medically supervised.


Coastal Detox offers round-the-clock medical monitoring and FDA-approved medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms during the initial detox phase, so you or your loved one will be safe and comfortable. Our residential detox program stabilizes the patient and prepares them to further engage with our inpatient rehab program. By mitigating potentially severe or life-threatening withdrawal complications, we help you make the crucial first step toward recovery.

Key Benefits of Medical Detox:
