Detox
At Miramont Behavioral Health in Middleton, Wisconsin, medical detox is a process that helps individuals safely manage withdrawal symptoms when they stop using drugs or alcohol. It is typically the first step in the addiction treatment process and is conducted under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and addiction specialists.
Medical detox occurs at our main campus with 24-hour care. The treatment typically involves medication-assisted therapy, when necessary; counseling; and support from a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals to ensure the safety and comfort of the individual during the detoxification process.

The main goal of medical detox is to ensure the safety and comfort of the individual as their body adjusts to functioning without the substance they were using. Many substances, including alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines, can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms when someone abruptly stops using them. These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to potentially life-threatening complications if not monitored by appropriate medical staff..
