Understanding addiction: A medical perspective
Addiction is not a personal failing; it’s a chronic, treatable condition that affects both the brain and body.
Substances like alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants create powerful chemical dependencies that require medical intervention to break safely.
That’s why professional detox is so critical. It allows your body to eliminate substances in a controlled, medically supported setting while reducing the risk of complications and laying a foundation for long-term recovery.

What to expect during your detox at The Raleigh House
Knowing what to expect when you start detox can ease anxiety and help you feel more prepared. At The Raleigh House, we guide you through each step with care, compassion, and round-the-clock support.
Initial medical assessment
Upon arrival, every client undergoes a comprehensive medical evaluation.
We assess your physical and mental health, substance use history, and any co-occurring conditions to create a detox plan tailored to your unique needs.
24/7 supervision and safety
Detox at The Raleigh House is closely monitored by licensed medical professionals, including nurses and addiction specialists. You’ll be supported every step of the way with 24/7 care to keep you safe and comfortable.
Managing withdrawal symptoms
Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening, depending on the substance and duration of use. Our medical team uses evidence-based strategies, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate, to manage symptoms and reduce discomfort.
Transitioning into ongoing care
Detox is only the beginning. Once stabilized, our team helps you transition into the next level of care, either at The Ranch at The Raleigh House for residential treatment or our outpatient facility in Denver.
A medically supported holistic approach to detox
We believe true healing includes the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. That’s why our detox center blends medical oversight with compassionate care and holistic support.
Emotional and mental health support
Withdrawal can stir up feelings of anxiety, depression, or trauma-related symptoms. Our clinicians provide counseling, emotional support, and trauma-informed care to help you stay grounded during this critical phase.
If you’re dealing with co-occurring addiction and a mental health condition, we provide dual diagnosis treatment to help you heal in all aspects.
Nutrition and physical wellness
Substance use disorders can deplete your body of essential nutrients. We offer complete nutrition support through balanced meals, hydration care, and access to supplements and integrative therapies like light exercise, mindfulness, and yoga to rebuild physical strength.
