What Is Detox and Why It Matters
Detox is the critical first step in addiction treatment—a process where your body begins to clear itself of alcohol or other addictive substances. But it’s not just about physical cleansing. Detox lays the groundwork for long-term healing, helping you stabilize both physically and emotionally so you’re ready to begin the deeper work of recovery.
At Driftwood Recovery, we understand that detoxification can be one of the most vulnerable points in the recovery journey. That’s why we offer a safe, medically supervised environment designed to protect your health and ease the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. Whether you’re detoxing from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances, our compassionate medical team is by your side 24/7—focused on your safety, comfort, and dignity.
Our residential detox program in Texas is rooted in evidence-based care. With medication-assisted therapies when appropriate, and full oversight of both your physical and mental health, we help you move through detox with the support you need and deserve.

When Is Detox Needed?
If you or a loved one is physically dependent on alcohol, opioids, prescription drugs, or other addictive substances, medical detox may be the safest first step in the recovery journey. Detox isn’t just about removing substances from the body—it’s about protecting your health during a vulnerable time and preparing you for effective addiction treatment.
Unsupervised withdrawal can be painful, overwhelming, and even dangerous. At Driftwood Recovery, our accredited detox center in Texas provides 24/7 medical supervision to help stabilize individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Whether you’re seeking alcohol detox, drug detox, or support for a dual diagnosis, our expert medical staff tailors care to your specific needs—ensuring a safer and more supported detox process.
Each person receives a full clinical assessment, allowing us to create individualized treatment plans that reflect your history, risk level, and long-term goals. For some, that may mean transitioning into residential treatment; for others, outpatient programs like IOP offer the right level of care after detox.
When you’re struggling with a substance use disorder, getting help from a trusted, on-site detox center can be the first empowering step toward wellness and long-term recovery.
