Medically Supported Detox
Ph: (337) 433-3786
OHL offers medically supported detox services to individuals 18 or older suffering from addiction and withdrawal. The Medically Supported Detox utilizes basic oral medications to treat symptoms of withdrawal. OHL’s Medically Supported Detox Facility is appropriate for people who have chronically abused many types of substances, especially opiate pain pills, prescribed anxiety and muscle relaxing medications, alcohol, and heroin. Detox treatment typically lasts 5 – 7 days. To ensure a safe medically supported detox, 24-hour on-site medical staff is present to assist with a comfortable detox. After completion of detox, clients may transition into the Short Term Residential Treatment program.
