Our treatment team will consider many variables when assessing whether or not ambulatory detox is an appropriate option.  Adults 18 and up are eligible for detox services; any adult who is in need of detox and withdrawal management from opioids would be a candidate.  A comprehensive medical and psychosocial assessment will reveal any health complications that require an inpatient referral.  It is also strongly recommended that all patients have the support of a “sober treatment partner” – a family member or close friend who can communicate with our staff regarding safety and support efforts to remain abstinent.  With a solid outside support system in place, chances of a successful detox and recovery are greatly improved.
