What is Detox Placement?

Detox is the first, and oftentimes seen as the most challenging, step in the addiction treatment timeline. Detox precedes drug rehab, and it’s a period of full 24-hour medical supervision in a facility where your vitals and comfort can be monitored until the withdrawal symptoms subside and your body clears the remaining substances from your system.

Typically, starting the recovery journey by trying to detox at home can be difficult and even dangerous. Addiction treatment centers have the experience, compassionate support, and personnel needed to make sure that starting recovery from alcohol addiction or benzodiazepine abuse doesn’t turn into a medical emergency. Suddenly stopping substances like these can trigger seizures or dangerous changes in cardiovascular function.[1]

In a licensed inpatient detoxification and recovery center, nurses will constantly log vitals, physicians help mitigate symptoms and discomfort with medication, and clinicians start building treatment plans that can be extended into an ongoing continuum.

How Detox Works

Recovery from drug addiction typically needs to start with clearing out the remaining drugs or alcohol in the system. Upon admission to a healthcare facility, clinicians and other personnel will complete a series of assessments, both physical and psychiatric, so that a comprehensive detox plan can be designed for that individual’s specific needs.

Treatment options will differ drastically based on the unique needs of every individual in addiction treatment programs. A detox program will be designed to provide optimal recovery from alcohol, opioids, or other substances.

What Happens After Detox?

While detox may be the most challenging part of the recovery process, that first week in a hospital or rehab center is by no means the end. Once you’ve completed detoxification, you and your care team at Epiphany Wellness will create your aftercare roadmap. This will detail your ongoing mental health treatment needs and addiction treatment services, and your recommended step-down measures.

Some clients will be able to step down from detox directly into an intensive outpatient treatment program, but that certainly won’t apply to everyone. Some individuals may still require intensive daily structure and overnight monitoring, making an inpatient or residential program a better fit. Still others may require a combination of these options and find that PHP effectively meets their needs. It all depends on the individual needs of each person entering a rehab program.

Levels of Care at Epiphany Wellness

  • Dual Diagnosis

    Learn More

    It’s incredibly common for mental health disorders to be co-occurring disorders with substance abuse disorders. With specialized, integrated treatment, you address psychiatric care, medication management, and addiction therapy simultaneously.

  • Intensive Outpatient Program

    Learn More

    IOP offers several therapy hours on scheduled weekdays or evenings. It is a significant step down that allows you to resume work while remaining closely connected to your treatment team.

  • Partial Hospitalization Program

    Learn More

    When 24-hour care is no longer required, PHP delivers a full day of treatment at our Blackwood center. Mornings usually cover medication reviews and group therapy. Afternoons may include psychoeducation, family sessions, and wellness skills. You sleep at home every night.

Detox From Any Substance Addiction

01

Pain Killers

Oxycodone, Percocet, and similar medications create strong physical dependence. Our Blackwood medical team uses MAT protocols, comfort meds, and pain management education so you transition safely into longer treatment programs in the state of New Jersey.

Learn More
02

Cocaine

Crash symptoms include exhaustion, low mood, and heart stress. Vitals are monitored, and mood support begins quickly. We coordinate stimulant recovery tracks in our continuum of trusted rehab partners statewide.

Learn More
03

Methamphetamine

Appetite loss, agitation, and erratic sleep need structured rest and nutrition rehab. Behavioral therapy starts early to rebuild coping skills before you step into PHP or IOP.

Learn More
04

Club Drugs

Ecstasy, ketamine, nitrous, or GHB effects vary. Hydration, vital checks, and cognitive screening guide care. Education tackles memory lapses and risky use patterns often seen in party settings across New Jersey and Philadelphia.

Learn More
05

Sleeping Pills

Stopping zolpidem or eszopiclone can lead to severe insomnia. We taper gradually and add CBT-based sleep training so you do not swap one dependence for another.

Learn More
06

Benzodiazepines

Because seizure risk is real, clinicians cross-taper to a longer-acting benzodiazepine and reduce slowly. Anxiety reduction skills and mindfulness practice support life after detox.

Learn More
07

Prescription Drugs

Poly prescription use is common. Pharmacists review every medication, flag interactions, and design a safe taper plan. You leave with updated prescriber coordination and a monitoring schedule.

Learn More
08

Alcohol

Medical detox prevents seizures and manages blood pressure swings. Thiamine protects brain health. Once stable, you begin relapse prevention and family education before moving deeper into alcohol rehab.

Learn More
09

Crack

Rapid cycling highs strain the heart and mood. Monitoring plus depression focused therapy helps stabilize the crash. Behavioral health programs tailored to stimulants take it from there.

Learn More
10

Kratom

GI distress, sweats, and anxiety respond to comfort meds and slow taper strategies.[3] Staff review supplement risks and build a relapse prevention plan.

Learn More
11

Adderrall

High-dose or non-prescribed amphetamine use brings mood dips and fatigue. Nutrition, sleep resets, and ADHD care reviews prepare you for healthier focus strategies post-detox.

Learn More
12

Stimulants

Whether prescription pills or illicit powders, stimulant withdrawal can spiral mood. Structured days and early coping skill work keep you engaged until cravings ease.

Learn More
13

Marijuana

Most symptoms are psychological. Irritability and insomnia can improve with mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and support groups that address the use of high-potency concentrates.

Learn More
14

Barbiturate

Rare but high risk. Physicians use phenobarbital tapers and continuous monitoring to prevent respiratory compromise.

Learn More
15

Heroin

Buprenorphine or methadone quickly reduces muscle pain and GI distress. We coordinate medication-assisted treatment and therapy follow-up within our New Jersey recovery network before discharge.

Learn More
16

Fentanyl

Because fentanyl persists in tissues, withdrawal may surge late. Micro-induction, blood pressure support, and longer observation windows enhance comfort and safety.

Learn More
17

Inhalants

Detoxification focuses on oxygenation and cardiac stability. Counseling addresses impulse control and provides safer coping tools for stress management. Family education is essential for younger users.

Learn More
18

Suboxone

If you are tapering, physicians lower the dose slowly and manage any breakthrough discomfort. Many clients remain on maintenance as part of their long-term treatment plan and ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Detox in New Jersey

Who is a candidate for detox?

If you rely on alcohol, opioids, prescription meds, or other substances to get through the day, or you have withdrawal symptoms when cutting back, medical detox is the safest starting point.

How long does detox typically last?

Many New Jersey detox admissions last 3 to 5 days. Alcohol with seizure risk, benzodiazepine tapers, or complicated health issues can extend that window. You stay until medically stable, whether that takes 4 days or 12.

Does insurance cover detox?

Epiphany Wellness accepts Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Tricare, NJ FamilyCare, and many private insurance providers.

What makes Epiphany different from other treatment centers in New Jersey?

Licensed medical detox access, a strong focus on dual diagnosis, insurance-friendly admissions, and a seamless continuum into residential treatment, PHP, IOP, and outpatient services help maintain momentum toward long-term resilience.

Is detox at home safe?

Detoxing alone at home is not recommended. Depending on the substance, the detox and withdrawal process can be life-threatening. Seek professional support for detox to ensure safety and a higher chance of success.
