Your First Step to Recovery: Choosing the Right Drug and Alcohol Detox Center
Starting with Detox: The Foundation of Recovery
Starting the path to sobriety begins with one powerful step: detox. If you or a loved one is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, choosing the right drug and alcohol detox center can make all the difference. At Nova Recovery Center—formerly known as Briarwood Detox—we are committed to helping you start your recovery journey safely, comfortably, and confidently.
Many people seeking help for addiction may feel confused, uncertain, or even hang up the phone when they believe they’ve contacted the wrong facility. Whether it’s because of our previous name, the assumption that we don’t offer detox, or uncertainty about our location, we want to be clear: Nova Recovery Center is your trusted local resource for drug and alcohol detox in Texas.
What Is Drug and Alcohol Detox?
Drug and alcohol detox is the medically-supervised process of eliminating addictive substances from the body. It’s the essential first stage of addiction treatment that lays the groundwork for ongoing recovery by providing physical and emotional stability.
Think of detox like rebooting a computer. Your mind and body are overwhelmed with toxic substances and need to reset before functioning normally. By cleansing your system in a safe environment, detox begins the recovery process on the right foot—a clean start that supports a healthier future.
Why Detox Is Important Before Rehab
Detox isn’t simply about quitting cold turkey. Stopping substance use without medical assistance can be extremely dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can range from anxiety and nausea to life-threatening seizures or hallucinations. Choosing the right facility ensures your safety throughout the detox process.

Do You Need Drug and Alcohol Detox?
If you’re uncertain whether detox is the right choice, consider the following signs that professional help may be needed:
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop using
- Repeated failed attempts to quit on your own
- Negative impact of substance use on your physical or mental health
- Using drugs or alcohol just to feel “normal”
- Concern from loved ones, coworkers, or friends
