Detox FAQ

We provide discreet and compassionate Medical Detox care, in our state-of-the-art hospital with comfortable private rooms. Medical Detox typically lasts just a few days under 24/7 supervision by our medical team. Each patient undergoes a complete health assessment, including a physical and a lab profile, and receives around the clock monitoring throughout the withdrawal period. When necessary, medications help further reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms. When detox is complete, you’ll discuss the next steps of recovery and transition goals for a residential, intensive outpatient, or outpatient treatment program.

Medication Assisted Therapy

Topeka ER & Hospital provides medication assisted therapy to manage withdrawal symptoms. These medications can alleviate discomfort, prevent dangerous symptoms and help with cravings.

Medically Monitored Inpatient Medical Detox vs. Rehabilitation Program

The goal of Medical Detox is to medically stabilize patients, minimize withdrawal symptoms, prevent the potentially harmful effects of withdrawal, and help patients transition into a substance abuse rehabilitation program or other form of continued care.

A Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program involves a combination of ongoing services that aim to socially and psychologically rehabilitate someone experiencing drug/alcohol abuse.
