Detoxification (or detox) is the process of clearing alcohol or drugs from the body after a period of use. For people who are physically dependent on substances, stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms—sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes dangerous. Detox provides medical supervision to help manage those symptoms and stabilize the body so treatment can begin safely.

Detox is not the full solution to addiction, but it is a critical first step. After detox, ongoing therapy and support are essential for lasting recovery.

Pyramid Healthcare North Carolina provides detox for a wide range of substances, including:

Fentanyl, heroin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine. North Carolina has been heavily impacted by the opioid crisis. Detoxing from opioids often requires medication-assisted treatment to manage withdrawal and cravings.

These anti-anxiety medications require a slow, carefully managed taper to avoid serious risks.

Methamphetamine and cocaine are widely used across the state and can lead to extreme fatigue, depression and agitation during withdrawal.

Using multiple substances together increases the risks during withdrawal. Our team is trained to manage complex detox cases.
