Many types of drug abuse do not require a full medical detox. In these situations however a "social detox" may be a good idea.Many people may not need medical based detox but would benefit from being in a social based sober environment before attempting full treatment. A residential Social Detox typically requires no medication. Patients are monitored by a 24-hour staff with medical personnel available should any complications arise. The Detox process usually is from 5-10 days and allows a client who is not physically dependent on substances to participate in 12 step meetings, drug and alcohol education, counseling, and group therapy.
