Detox
Our Continuum Of Care
At The Orchard on the Brazos, our continuum of care is comprehensive and covers all stages of the treatment journey, encompassing a full spectrum of services.
Phase 1 of Your Comprehensive Treatment Plan
Over time, consistent drug or alcohol abuse can cause one’s body to depend on that substance to feel normal. Detox—your body’s ridding itself of these toxic substances to enable your physical healing from addiction—is a necessary starting point on the road to recovery. Before you can engage in meaningful treatment that addresses the root causes of your addiction, your body must be healthy and your mind clear.
Detox can be a daunting, and even frightening, prospect to those who suffer from the disease of addiction. We’re here to make this process as comfortable and supportive as possible. For the duration of your detox at the Orchard, you’ll be under the caring 24/7 supervision of our highly skilled medical team, including nurses and an on-site doctor. For your safety, it’s very important that you have medical support during detox, as you may need medications to maximize your comfort or you may need care for serious side effects that can occur, such as seizures or dehydration.
Your medical team will create a detox plan tailored to your unique needs, monitor you throughout this process, address any discomfort you may feel, and safely manage your withdrawal symptoms. With great compassion, we’re here to guide and motivate you through this difficult initial phase of recovery so you won’t get overwhelmed or succumb to the temptation to give up prematurely.
What to Expect
The details of each detox experience differ depending on each person and their addiction—the type of substance, amount used, and frequency of use. Generally, you can expect to complete a medical and psychological assessment, which will help inform your detox plan as well as your treatment plan over the course of your residency at the Orchard.
If you’re feeling up to it, you’re welcome to look around our campus, mingle with fellow residents at our community, or even start attending group sessions. However, your main priority during this time is to rest and heal—focusing 100% of your energy on your health and well-being.
If you’re not feeling well enough to venture out, we’re happy to deliver meals directly to your room and can customize dishes to suit your current appetite and tolerances.

Detox Facility and Accommodations
Although our detox building is a medical facility by necessity, we aim to mitigate the cold clinical atmosphere as much as possible. You’ll enjoy your own private bedroom and bathroom, complete with warm and inviting furnishings so you feel more like a guest welcomed into a comfortable, home-like space than a patient admitted into a hospital.
