As an addiction to alcohol or drugs gets worse, the chemistry of the brain tends to change. Once the brain’s chemistry has changed, it can be nearly impossible to stop using the substances on your own. In fact, it can be dangerous to abruptly try to quit cold turkey when painful withdrawal symptoms occur.

Baltimore Detox Center is only the second freestanding facility for drug and alcohol detox in the state of Maryland. Our compassionate staff wants your experience in our medical detox program to be as safe and comfortable as possible. When you go through either our drug detox or alcohol detox programs, your body gradually gets rid of the substances in your system safely so that you can focus solely on your therapy programs. First, however, take a moment to consider if enrolling in our detox program is right for you.

Do I Need to Enroll at a Detox Center?

If you are unsure whether or not you may need to enroll in addiction treatment at Baltimore Detox Center, honestly ask yourself the following questions:

• Are friends and family members expressing concern about your drug and alcohol use?
• Are you experiencing legal or financial issues due to your addiction?
• Do you feel withdrawal symptoms when you are unable to use drugs or alcohol?
• Are you continuing to use drugs or alcohol despite serious health consequences?
• Are you isolating yourself because of your addiction?
• Are you neglecting work, school, or family obligations because of your drug or alcohol use?

Maybe these questions made your need for addiction treatment at Baltimore Detox Center more clear to you. Our staff wants you to keep in mind that addiction isn’t a choice; it’s a disease. The medical detox capabilities at Baltimore Detox Center can help to treat this disease as you begin your path towards recovery.

What Happens When You Enter a Detox Center?

When you begin the detox process, we monitor your vitals and keep you comfortable. If any withdrawal symptoms arise, our highly trained medical staff is available to treat the symptoms.

By providing you with a safe, sober environment, we can significantly reduce the risk of relapse and prepare you for subsequent care at Baltimore Detox Center.
