Alcohol Detox
Safe, Medically Managed Alcohol Withdrawal.
The first days without alcohol are the most dangerous — and the most important.
Alcohol withdrawal can bring seizures, dangerous blood-pressure spikes, and delirium tremens. At Guardian Recovery, physicians and 24/7 nursing manage every hour of your detox — easing symptoms with proven medications and constant monitoring, so your body can let go of alcohol safely.
24/7 Medical Supervision
Nurses and physicians monitor you day and night — withdrawal never catches anyone off guard here.
Comfort Medications
Proven medications calm shakes, anxiety, and insomnia, and protect against seizures while your system stabilizes.
Constant Monitoring
Vitals are checked around the clock so complications like delirium tremens are prevented, not just treated.
Co-Occurring Care
Anxiety, depression, and trauma often sit underneath drinking. We treat the whole person from day one.
Private, Restful Setting
Private bedrooms, chef-prepared meals, and a calm campus — your body heals faster when it can actually rest.
The Bridge to Rehab
Before detox ends, your team has your next step ready — residential, outpatient, or both — so momentum never breaks.

Reviews & Stories of Recovery
Reclaim Your Life | Rewrite Your Story.
From the people and families who walked this path before you.
“I was terrified of detox. The nurses checked on me constantly, the bed was comfortable, and for the first time in years I actually slept. I left with a plan — and I’ve stuck to it.”
James M. Alumni · Pine Tree Recovery Center
“We called about my brother at 2 a.m. and a real person answered, listened, and walked us through everything — insurance, transport, what to pack. He was admitted that afternoon.”
Danielle R. Family member of an alumni
“Eighteen months sober. What made the difference was that the same team stayed with me from detox through outpatient. I never fell through the cracks.”

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call.
Is it dangerous to quit alcohol cold turkey?
It can be. Alcohol is one of the few substances whose withdrawal can be life-threatening — seizures and delirium tremens are real risks for heavy, long-term drinkers. Medically supervised detox manages those risks with medication and 24/7 monitoring.
How long does alcohol detox take?
Most alcohol detoxes take 5 to 7 days, depending on how long and how heavily you’ve been drinking and your overall health. Your medical team adjusts the plan daily so you progress at a safe, comfortable pace.
What medications are used during alcohol detox?
Physicians typically use carefully dosed medications that prevent seizures and ease withdrawal symptoms, plus support for sleep, anxiety, and nutrition. Your exact protocol is set by the medical team after your assessment.
How much does alcohol detox cost?
For most people with insurance, alcohol detox can be covered in full or in large part. We verify your exact benefits for free before you commit to anything, and we offer self-pay rates and financing for those without coverage.
Will anyone find out I’m in treatment?
No. Your care is protected by federal privacy law (HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2). We never share information with employers, family, or anyone else without your written consent.
What happens after detox?
Detox is the beginning, not the destination. Before you discharge, your clinical team builds your next step with you — residential care, PHP, IOP, or outpatient — so the progress you make continues without interruption.
