Inpatient Drug Detox in Austin, TX

At Briarwood Detox Center, you’ll find a Joint Commission (JCAHO)-accredited medical detox facility that has been helping clients since 2017. Our center is conveniently located on North Lamar Boulevard near Breaker Lane (just 3 miles from The Domain in Austin). We operate 24/7, so help is available the moment you’re ready – even in the middle of the night or on a weekend.

Unlike a hospital ward, our detox facility feels like a safe, residential home. Clients stay in private or semi-private rooms and have access to comfortable lounge areas with recliner seating, flat-screen TVs, and a tranquil outdoor patio. We serve nutritious, chef-prepared meals to keep you strong during withdrawal. Everything is designed to make you feel at ease, so you can focus on healing in a calm, judgment-free environment.

• Opioids (Oxycodone, Heroin, Fentanyl, Hydrocodone, etc.)
• Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium)
• Stimulants (Cocaine, Meth)
• Prescription Drugs (Adderall, Ambien, etc.)
• Other substances like Kratom, Suboxone, and more

Detox at Briarwood follows a structured process to ensure you are safe, cared for, and comfortable at every step. Here’s what you can expect during your inpatient drug detox:

Before anything else, we take time to get to know you — your story, your history with substances, your health, and your concerns. You’ll meet privately with our compassionate medical team for an in-depth intake assessment. We’ll evaluate:

• What substances you’ve been using (and for how long)
• Your current physical and mental health
• Any past withdrawal symptoms or treatment history
• Your preferences, fears, and goals for recovery

This isn’t a cold questionnaire — it’s a supportive, judgment-free conversation designed to make sure your care is 100% tailored to your needs from the moment you walk in. We treat you as a person, not a number.

This is where your body begins to heal. You’ll stay in a quiet private or semi-private room (your choice) with round-the-clock medical supervision from our experienced team of doctors and nurses.

During detox stabilization, we provide:

• 24/7 monitoring of your vital signs by our on-site nursing staff
• Non-addictive medications to ease withdrawal symptoms (for example: anxiety, nausea, restlessness, insomnia)
• Hydration support and nutritious, chef-prepared meals to keep your strength up
• A clean, calm environment designed for rest and recovery

Most importantly, you’ll never be alone. Our staff checks on you regularly and responds immediately if you need anything. Every hour you spend here is a step closer to freedom from the physical grip of addiction.

Once your body stabilizes and your mind becomes clearer, we help you plan for the next phase of your recovery. Detox is just the first step – our goal is to set you up for lasting success.

Our counselors and treatment advisors will meet with you to:

• Discuss next steps like inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, or sober living homes (based on your needs and preferences)
• Coordinate with your family or loved ones (only if you want) to involve them in your recovery plan
• Provide emotional support and additional recovery resources to keep you motivated
• Ensure you leave detox with a clear, actionable aftercare plan you feel good about

You don’t have to figure out the future alone. Whether you continue treatment with us or another trusted program, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Detox is the first step—and we’re here to help you go the distance toward a sober, fulfilling life.

If you’re still using drugs or struggling to stop, detox isn’t optional — it’s essential. Trying to quit on your own (“cold turkey”) can be extremely painful and, in some cases, even dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms like severe anxiety, vomiting, shaking, insomnia, or seizures can overwhelm your body and mind. This makes it nearly impossible to stay clean without medical help.

At Briarwood Detox Center, we make the detox process safer, faster, and more comfortable – so you can break the physical addiction and get your life back.

• Dangerous Withdrawal Risks: Severe withdrawal can lead to seizures, heart complications, or other medical emergencies.
• High Risk of Relapse: Detoxing without support is the #1 reason people relapse early – the discomfort drives them back to using.
• Medical Detox Eases Pain: A professional detox uses medications and 24/7 care to reduce cravings and suffering, greatly increasing your comfort.
• Safe & Effective: It’s the safest, most effective way to get clean – and it lays the foundation for staying sober long-term.

If you’re ready to stop, we’re ready to help. Call us at (866) 710-7710

Choosing to go through detox isn’t just about getting clean — it’s about reclaiming every part of your life.

Whether you’ve been using for years or months, drugs or alcohol can slowly take everything from you: your peace of mind, your relationships, your career, and even your sense of purpose. But with medically supervised detox, you get the chance to start over — safely, supported, and without shame.

Here’s what detox gives back:

Addiction clouds your thinking, increases anxiety, and distorts your perception of reality.
Detox helps lift the fog. You begin to think clearly, regain focus, and make confident decisions again. This clarity gives you power — to change, to rebuild, to lead your life on your terms.

Detox doesn’t just heal your body — it restores your relationships.
When you’re sober, you can finally show up for the people who love you — as a parent, a partner, a friend, or a sibling.
You stop hurting the people you care about.
You start rebuilding trust.
And most importantly, you start liking the person you see in the mirror again.

Let’s be honest: addiction is expensive.
The money spent chasing the next fix adds up fast. But the real cost? Missed work, lost income, ER visits, DUIs, rehab bills, broken contracts, legal issues — the list goes on.
Detox is the first and smartest investment in long-term stability. When you get clean, you make better decisions. You work. You save. You stop hemorrhaging money and start building a future.
