About Detox Centers
Medically supervised detox manages acute withdrawal in a 24/7 monitored setting. Length varies: opioids 3–7 days, alcohol 5–10 days, benzodiazepines 10–21 days (longer for high-dose long-acting agents). Detox is stabilization, not treatment — discharge straight to outpatient without a residential/IOP step has high early-relapse risk.

Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid; coverage for low-income adults is narrower than in expansion states, and county-funded and church-funded programs play a larger role.
