Outpatient detox may be right for you if you have a stable home and would like to begin addiction treatment while continuing to meet work, school, or family obligations. Outpatient detox at Northshore Health can help end your dependence on:

• Alcohol
• Opioids
• Pain medications (oxycodone, fentanyl, etc.)
• Benzodiazepines (diazepam, clonazepam, etc.)

For patients wishing to gradually wean off opioids, we also offer medically assisted treatment using Suboxone®, Vivitrol®, and other addiction medications.

Our experts begin with a confidential evaluation to determine the extent of your physical addiction, your overall health, and the best detox approach. The process involves a series of extended appointments where the medical team provides support and helps you cope with withdrawal symptoms, with instructions to continue safely at home.

The timeline depends on the substance and individual factors. Northshore Health partners with The Coleman Institute to offer accelerated detox programs for qualifying patients, allowing detox to be completed in as few as three days. Remember, detox is just the first stage — ongoing recovery support is essential.
