24 Hour Detox in San Antonio TX | Immediate Admission Available

The term "24 hour detox" refers to detoxification services that are accessible around the clock—not a program that lasts only 24 hours. Medical detox typically takes anywhere from 3 to 10 days depending on the substance, your usage history, and your overall health. What makes it "24 hour" is the availability:

• 24/7 admissions: You can call, get assessed, and start detox any time of day or night, including weekends and holidays.
• Round-the-clock medical supervision: Once enrolled, you receive continuous monitoring and medication management to ensure safety during withdrawal.
• Immediate crisis intervention: If you're experiencing dangerous withdrawal symptoms—such as seizures, severe dehydration, or suicidal ideation—24 hour detox centers can provide urgent medical care.

Briarwood Detox Center's San Antonio outpatient detox program provides daily medical visits, prescription withdrawal medications, and on-call nursing support throughout your detox timeline. You receive the same level of clinical care as inpatient detox, but with the flexibility to return home each evening.

Our outpatient detox program in San Antonio provides comprehensive medical care without requiring you to stay overnight in a facility. Here's what the process looks like:

Step 1: Initial Contact and Assessment (Available 24/7)

• Conduct a confidential phone assessment to understand your substance use history, medical conditions, and withdrawal risks.
• Verify your insurance benefits and explain out-of-pocket costs if applicable.
• Schedule your first in-person visit, often the same day or within 24 hours.

Step 2: Medical Evaluation and Detox Planning

During your first visit to our San Antonio outpatient clinic, you'll meet with a medical provider who will:

• Complete a full physical and psychiatric evaluation.
• Order lab work or vitals monitoring as needed.
• Prescribe medications to manage withdrawal symptoms safely (e.g., benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal, buprenorphine or methadone for opioid withdrawal, clonidine for blood pressure and anxiety).
• Create a personalized detox schedule with daily or near-daily check-ins.

Step 3: Daily Medical Supervision

You'll visit the clinic each day (or every other day, depending on your protocol) for:

• Vital sign monitoring (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature).
• Medication adjustments based on your symptoms.
• Nursing assessments using standardized withdrawal scales (CIWA for alcohol, COWS for opioids).
• Brief counseling and discharge planning.

Between visits, our clinical team is available by phone if you experience worsening symptoms or have questions about your medications.

Step 4: Transition to Ongoing Care

Detox is the first step, not the finish line. Before you complete detox, we'll help you connect with:

• Outpatient counseling or intensive outpatient programs (IOP) in San Antonio.
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) providers for ongoing opioid or alcohol use disorder management.
• Peer support groups like AA, NA, or SMART Recovery.
• Inpatient rehab if you need a higher level of care after detox.

Briarwood Detox Center combines the clinical rigor of hospital-based detox with the flexibility and dignity of outpatient care. Here's what sets us apart:

• True 24/7 availability: Our admissions line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. You'll speak with a real person, not a voicemail.
• Same-day admissions: We move fast. Most patients start detox within 24 hours of their first call.
• Evidence-based protocols: Our medical team follows ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) guidelines and uses FDA-approved medications to manage withdrawal safely.
• Insurance accepted: We work with most major insurance plans and verify benefits before you start, so there are no surprise bills.
• Local San Antonio care: Our outpatient clinic is located in San Antonio, making it easy to access daily visits without long drives or overnight stays.
• Experienced, compassionate staff: Our nurses, physicians, and counselors specialize in addiction medicine and treat every patient with respect and empathy.
