Medical Detoxification


Hanley Center’s drug and alcohol detoxification process is unique from other programs because of the highly individualized detox care that each patient receives.

When a patient is admitted to Hanley Center, he or she will first go to the detoxification unit where the initial medical phase of the recovery process begins. Detoxification is the period of time in which a patient physically withdraws from the use of his drug of choice, be it alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, opiates (such as Vicodin, OxyContin, morphine, heroin), benzodiazepines (such as Klonopin, Xanax, Valium, Ativan), etc.

A nurse will conduct an in-depth assessment of how much and how often the patient was using his or her drugs of choice. Then the patient is monitored closely for symptoms of withdrawal and, if necessary, given medications to ease the symptoms.
