Medical Detox

Spring Grove Recovery is a trusted addiction treatment center serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding Front Range region. Nestled in a tranquil setting at the base of the Rocky Mountains, we proudly offer a comfortable, private space where our clients can heal physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Before true healing can begin, the body needs to be cleared of the substances causing harm. At Spring Grove Recovery, we provide safe, compassionate, and clinically effective medical detox in Colorado Springs, offering clients a supportive foundation for lasting recovery.

Set in a tranquil environment at the base of the Rockies, our detox program reflects our belief in whole-person healing. Our programs treat not just symptoms but also the person behind them, with dignity, care, and expertise.

What is medical detox?

Medical detox is the process of clearing drugs, alcohol, or other substances from the body under close medical supervision. Unlike quitting on your own, detox in a licensed center uses medications and 24/7 monitoring to reduce withdrawal symptoms, manage complications, and promote safety throughout the process.

Some substances—like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids—can produce severe or even life-threatening withdrawal effects. In these cases, medical alcohol detox or medical drug detox isn’t just recommended—it’s essential.

Substances that may require medical detox

Spring Grove Recovery supports safe, supervised withdrawal from a wide range of substances, including:

  • Alcohol
  • Opioids (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers)
  • Benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Ativan, and Valium)
  • Stimulants (including methamphetamine and cocaine)
  • Polysubstance combinations

Our team is here to evaluate your situation and help determine the safest and most effective detox approach. If you’re not sure whether medical detox is necessary, just reach out—we’re ready to help.

When is medical detox needed?

You may benefit from medical detox if:

  • You experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop use.
  • You’ve been using substances heavily or for a long time.
  • You’ve tried to quit before and relapsed.
  • You have co-occurring medical or mental health issues.
  • You’re using multiple substances.

Even if withdrawal feels “manageable,” detoxing without medical care can quickly become dangerous. We offer a peaceful setting, purposeful recovery, and the assurance that you’re never alone in this process.

What to expect during medical detox at Spring Grove Recovery

We believe in starting recovery with calm, comfort, and clinical excellence. Here’s what medical detox at Spring Grove Recovery looks like:

Comprehensive assessment

Every client’s experience begins with a full medical and psychological evaluation. This allows our team to develop a detox plan that considers both substance use and any co-occurring mental health conditions.

Personalized detox plan

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to detox. Using evidence-based detox medications, we tailor your plan to minimize discomfort and maximize stability.

24/7 medical supervision and support

You’ll be monitored by licensed clinicians around the clock. If complications arise, our team responds immediately to keep you safe.

Seamless transition to residential care

Detox generally lasts 10-14 days. Once withdrawal management is complete, you can continue your treatment in our residential program—no need to transfer or restart your recovery elsewhere. This smooth transition supports long-term success.
From start to finish, our goal is to create a space where healing is grown with care.
