Your Choice of Abstinence and MAT Detox Tracks

You will have your choice of either abstinence or medication assisted detox. You'll work with the care team to determine what the best approach is for your dependency.

There are two phases to their outpatient detox program. There’s the induction phase and the tapering phase. The process can last anywhere from three to seven days, and if you have a co-occurring mental health disorder, that process could be longer.
