Medical Detox in New Jersey
You don’t have to face withdrawal alone. Our experts make withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible to ensure you don’t relapse during detox.
What Is Medical Detox?
Medical detox is an essential first step in addiction treatment. During a medically supervised detox, the body rids drugs and alcohol from its system, which can include uncomfortable or dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Our medical team provides 24/7 supervision and treatment for side effects to make detox as safe and comfortable as possible.

How long is medical detox?
The duration of medical detox depends on the substance used, withdrawal symptoms and physical health. Most clients complete medically supervised detox in 5–7 days.

The Recovery Village Cherry Hill at Cooper offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as medically appropriate. Your clinical team will determine your needs and eligibility for MAT.
