Question. Has anyone who has been to a medical detox? And what did it consist of?

Jumping off 20mgs of methadone

I did detox back in August. It’s not bad as some people say. I really enjoyed the time away from home to get mentally stable

It depends on where you go and what you are detoxing off of. I know for me I tried for years to do it myself. I finally gave in and went to treatment. Best decision ever!

I think Joe makes a valid point. I have been to 2 treatment centers one of which had a strict regimented schedule 3 meals a day mandatory group therapy a nutritionist a 1 hour individual therapy session every other day.
The other I went to was much more laid back with scheduling you shopped and fed yourself and it was more of a here's the resources take it or leave it kind of atmosphere.

If you are thinking of going somewhere and have the mental capacity to do your research while in active addiction I would recommend it.
I personally had so much alcohol in my system I was hallucinating constantly and was in no shape to do much of anything.
