Nova Recovery Center
OUR TREATMENT PROGRAMS
At Nova Recovery Center, we provide detox services for a wide variety of substances. Each detox plan caters to the individual. It helps manage withdrawal safely and prepares you for long-term recovery. Below is a breakdown of the most common drugs and substances we treat in our detox programs.
ALCOHOL
Withdrawal can be life-threatening without medical care. We monitor vital signs and use medications when needed to reduce symptoms and complications.
Opiates & Opioids Detox
From prescription painkillers to illicit opioids like fentanyl, our detox programs help manage physical dependence and intense cravings.
Benzodiazepines
Stopping medications like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan slowly with a doctor’s help is important. Stopping suddenly can lead to seizures and more anxiety.
Cocaine
While not physically addictive in the same way as opioids, cocaine detox requires emotional and psychological stabilization.
Heroin
Our compassionate team provides 24/7 support during heroin withdrawal, using medications and therapy to reduce discomfort and promote stability.
Methamphetamine
Meth detox can cause extreme fatigue, depression, and anxiety. We help ease these symptoms in a structured, supportive setting.
Prescription Drugs
We assist individuals taking medications such as Adderall, Ambien, or painkillers, concentrating on their physical symptoms and psychological well-being through prescription drug detox.
Synthetic Drugs
Detox from synthetic cannabinoids, bath salts, or designer stimulants is managed with careful observation and individualized treatment plans.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
We use FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine or naltrexone to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Drug detox is the process of removing drugs or alcohol from the body. This happens while doctors help manage withdrawal symptoms. A professional drug detox center provides medications and therapy to ease discomfort and prepare you for ongoing treatment. Detox alone is not treatment—it’s the necessary first step toward recovery.
Unsupervised alcohol detoxification can pose serious risks. In a certified detox facility, healthcare professionals monitor vital signs. They employ established techniques to avert complications such as seizures and delirium tremens. Effective detoxification greatly minimizes danger and enhances patient comfort.
Opiates and opioids like heroin or fentanyl require careful medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms typically begin within 12–30 hours. At Nova, doctors use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine or methadone. This helps ease symptoms, reduce cravings, and prepare for treatment.
You must taper benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium) slowly during detox because of serious withdrawal risks like seizures. Patients in medical detox receive careful dose reductions and clinical monitoring to ensure safe stabilization and symptom relief.
Cocaine withdrawal usually causes emotional and psychological symptoms—like depression and fatigue—rather than physical distress. Our detox environment offers structure and therapy support. This helps stabilize your mood and improve mental health during early recovery.
Heroin detox can involve intense physical symptoms—muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea—combined with psychological cravings. Medical supervision and peer recovery support in a licensed facility help reduce discomfort and foster stability through the evaluation and stabilization stages.
Methamphetamine detox often leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and depression that can last weeks. Nova’s medically assisted detox offers support around the clock. It includes monitoring symptoms and personalized care. This helps make this tough time easier and lowers the chance of relapse.
Yes. Detoxing from prescription medications requires clinical oversight to manage withdrawal and underlying mental health issues. Our team makes a personal plan for each person. We combine medical care and behavioral health support to help safely complete detox.
Synthetic drugs (e.g., designer stimulants or cannabinoids) have unpredictable withdrawal profiles. Our detox protocols include careful assessment and close observation. This helps support clients through serious psychological and physical symptoms.
Trying detoxification at home can be dangerous. Without professional supervision, people are more likely to experience relapse, dehydration, seizures, or other issues. Detox under clinical supervision enhances safety and long-term success.
Detox timelines vary by substance and personal history. For example, alcohol withdrawal can last from a few days to a week.
Benzodiazepines can require 3 to 14 days, while stimulants such as cocaine may occupy up to 3 weeks. Detox timelines vary based on age, health, substance type, and duration of use.
Detoxification marks just the initial phase of the recovery journey. Once stabilized, clients move into residential rehabilitation, outpatient programs, partial hospitalization (PHP), or sober ensuring continuous support for lasting recovery.
