Stopping alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines after regular use can bring on withdrawal symptoms that range from uncomfortable to dangerous. Promises Dallas-Fort Worth provides medically supervised detox at its Lewisville campus, about 15 to 20 minutes from Trophy Club via TX-114 east to I-35E north.
Detox is the first step. It helps your body clear substances safely so you can move into the treatment that addresses why the use started and how to stay well.
Why Medical Supervision Matters
Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can be life-threatening and needs medical supervision. Stopping these substances abruptly on your own can lead to seizures or other serious complications. Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening by itself, but it is intensely uncomfortable, and losing tolerance raises the risk of overdose if use starts again. If someone has signs of an overdose or a medical emergency, call 911.
What Happens in Detox
Medical detox at Promises DFW starts with an assessment of your substance use, health history and mental health. From there, the medical team monitors your symptoms around the clock and manages withdrawal with care that fits your needs. Medication-assisted treatment may be used when it is clinically appropriate.
Substance-specific detox information is available for alcohol, opioids and benzodiazepines.
What Comes Next
Detox alone rarely leads to lasting recovery. Most clients move directly into residential addiction treatment on the same campus, without a gap or a second admission. Later steps can include our in-person partial hospitalization program and our virtual intensive outpatient program, which is available to adults anywhere in Texas. Every client leaves with an aftercare plan.
If depression, anxiety or trauma is part of the picture, your team can address it at the same time through dual diagnosis care, or you can read about mental health treatment for Trophy Club residents.
