What to Expect During Drug & Alcohol Detox
Detox is the process of clearing drugs and alcohol from your body while managing withdrawal symptoms in a safe, controlled setting.
For many people, this is the most physically challenging part of recovery—but it’s also where real change begins.
At Recovery Keys, detox is designed to be as comfortable and supportive as possible. Our team closely monitors your progress and adjusts care as needed to reduce discomfort, manage cravings, and ensure your safety.
Medically Supervised Detox
Our detox program is led by board-certified physicians and supported by experienced therapists and licensed addiction counselors.
We may use medications such as:

We combine medical care with holistic support to help you feel as stable and comfortable as possible.
This includes:
- Stress reduction techniques

You are not going through this alone—we’re with you every step of the way.
Detox for Alcohol, Drugs & Prescription Medications
We provide specialized detox programs based on the substance and your individual needs.
Alcohol Detox
Alcohol detox is the process of allowing your body to reset after becoming dependent on alcohol. Over time, regular drinking changes how the brain and nervous system function, making it difficult to stop without support.
When alcohol is removed, the body has to re-adjust and stabilize. This is where detox plays a critical role.
During alcohol detox, your body begins to regulate itself again, and your brain chemistry gradually returns to a more balanced state. This process looks different for everyone depending on how long and how heavily someone has been drinking.
At Recovery Keys, alcohol detox in Jacksonville, Florida is medically supervised to help you stay stable, comfortable, and supported throughout the process.
Our team may use medications when appropriate to ease the transition and help you move safely through detox.
Once your body is stabilized, the next step is continuing care through inpatient or outpatient treatment to support long-term recovery.
Opioid Detox
Support for prescription pain medications and illicit opioids, including:
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Percocet
- Fentanyl
- Heroin
Drug Detox
Detox for substances such as:
- Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium)
- Cocaine
- Methamphetamines
- Marijuana
Personalized Detox Programs
No two people experience addiction the same way—and detox shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
Every patient receives a personalized plan based on:
- substance use history
- physical health
- mental health conditions
- individual needs and goals
Our focus is to stabilize you physically and emotionally so you can move forward with confidence into the next phase of treatment.

Yes—when it’s done under medical supervision.
Detox at Recovery Keys is carefully managed by experienced professionals to ensure your safety at all times.
Many of our team members have personal experience with addiction and recovery, which allows them to provide not just clinical care—but real understanding and support.
How Long Does Detox Take?
Detox can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on:
- the substance used
- duration of use
- severity of dependence
Our team will guide you through the process and adjust care as needed to ensure a safe and stable transition.
