Medical Detox
Detox is the first stage of treatment for most people who come to Merritt Recovery. Our medical team manages the physical symptoms of withdrawal with round the clock monitoring, so you or your loved one can stop using safely and stay comfortable before the next phase of care begins.
About Our Medical Detox
Medical detox is the first step of treatment for most people who come to Merritt Recovery. It is the process of clearing substances from the body under close medical care, with 24/7 clinical monitoring so withdrawal symptoms can be managed safely and comfortably.
When you or your loved one arrives, our team completes a full assessment of physical health, substance use history, and any co-occurring conditions. That information shapes a personalized treatment plan built around real needs, not a template.
Throughout detox, staff check in regularly, adjust care as symptoms change, and keep everyone informed. A dedicated case manager coordinates care from admission through the next phase of treatment and into aftercare, so the transition stays steady and nothing gets lost along the way.
