Medical detox in Ohio

Q: How long does detox take?

It depends on the drug and how much you used. Alcohol withdrawal usually starts within 8 hours of the last drink and peaks at 24 to 72 hours, though some symptoms can last for weeks. Opioid withdrawal starts within about 12 hours of the last heroin use and about 30 hours after methadone, and buprenorphine can shorten it. Treatment for the addiction itself usually continues after detox.

Detox is the first step for many people. Staff watch you and ease withdrawal. Quitting heavy drinking on your own can be dangerous. SAMHSA lists 105 programs in Ohio that offer this.

Inpatient or outpatient detox in Ohio

82outpatient detox

Of the 105 detox programs, 82 list outpatient detox (you sleep at home and visit the program, often daily at first); 27 list residential detox (you stay at the facility around the clock); 11 list hospital inpatient detox (a hospital unit with medical staff on hand). 11 offer outpatient detox and a live-in option, so you can step from one to the other in the same program.

Where detox happens	Programs	Most in
Outpatient detox	82	Columbus (12), Cincinnati (7) and Dayton (5)
Residential detox	27	Dayton (3), Cincinnati (2) and Columbus (2)
Hospital inpatient detox	11	Columbus (3), Warren (2) and Chillicothe (1)

Which setting fits

Withdrawal that is mild to moderate can often be treated as an outpatient. Someone needs to stay with you, and you visit the provider daily until you are stable.^[4] Moderate to severe withdrawal may need a hospital or a facility that treats it, where staff check your vital signs and watch for delirium tremens.^[4] If you are unsure how severe yours will be, ask the program to assess you before you choose.

What is medical detox, and how long does it last?

Detox treats withdrawal. It is not treatment for the addiction itself; most people need longer care after it.^[5]

Substance	When symptoms start	How it runs
Alcohol	Usually within 8 hours of the last drink, sometimes days later	Peaks at 24 to 72 hours; some symptoms go on for weeks
Heroin and other short-acting opioids	Usually within 12 hours of the last use	Very uncomfortable, not life-threatening
Methadone	Usually within 30 hours of the last dose	Later start than heroin

Timing from MedlinePlus (NIH).^[4]^[5]

Alcohol detox

After long, heavy drinking, stopping suddenly can bring nausea, a racing heart and seizures.^[6] Delirium tremens, the severe form, causes confusion, fever and hallucinations.^[4] Doctors use sedatives and close checks of blood pressure and heart rate.^[4] Alcohol detox in Ohio is listed by 91 of the 105 programs.

Drug detox: opioids

Methadone and buprenorphine ease withdrawal, and buprenorphine can make detox shorter.^[5] All 105 programs list buprenorphine and 43 methadone; 103 say they routinely use medication during detox.

After detox

Plan the next step before you start: counseling, an intensive outpatient program, residential care or medication.^[5] Of these programs, 37 also run residential care and 63 intensive outpatient, so you can stay with the same team. See inpatient rehab and outpatient programs.
