What Is Detoxification?

Drug and alcohol use can lead to physical dependence resulting in withdrawal symptoms when use stops. Detox clears your system of substances and gives your body the space to begin healing. But detoxing without medical support can be dangerous, especially with substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. Symptoms can include seizures, hallucinations, and dangerous fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure

Coordinated Detox for a Safer Start

If detox is clinically recommended, our team will refer you to a trusted medical partner in the Austin area. These facilities provide 24/7 medical supervision with access to medications and interventions that make withdrawal safer and more manageable. Once detox is complete, clients return to Legacy clinically ready to participate in residential treatment without disruption; physically and cognitively prepared to engage in therapeutic work that cannot begin during active withdrawal.

Factors That Influence Detox Needs

Everyone’s detox experience is different. Our team will work with detox professionals to ensure your care reflects factors such as:

  • The substances you’ve been using
  • Length and intensity of use
  • Overall medical health
  • Co-occurring mental health conditions

This collaborative approach ensures you enter treatment at Legacy Texas stabilized, supported, and ready to do the work of recovery.
