Medical Detox

When your body is dependent on drugs or alcohol, the first step toward healing is detox—but it doesn't have to be frightening. Sheridan Grove Recovery offers medical detox—a safe, supportive way of withdrawing from substances under the care of experienced professionals. 

Sheridan Grove Recovery is located just outside Denver in Aurora, Colorado. Our medical detox program provides 24/7 supervision, evidence-based protocols, and trauma-informed care centered on your dignity and safety. Whether it’s your first experience in recovery or you're returning, our treatment programs are designed to help you stabilize without judgment and prepare you for the next stage of healing. 

Medical detox is the process of safely clearing addictive substances from the body while managing the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal. Unlike attempting to quit “cold turkey” at home, medical detox involves professional monitoring and support to reduce the chance of dangerous complications and ease discomfort. 

At Sheridan Grove Recovery, detox isn’t just about getting sober—it’s the first step in helping you thrive post-treatment. While in recovery, you’ll gain lifelong tools—that’s why clarity of thought and feeling grounded are essential from the very beginning. Ridding your system of substances provides the foundation necessary to transition to the next phase of treatment.  

The team at Sheridan Grove Recovery uses detox medications like Subutex, Vivitrol, and Suboxone, when clinically appropriate, and creates individualized detox plans based on your health, history, and the ingested substance. 

Many substances can cause serious or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is why medical detox is essential. Attempting to detox on your own can pose significant risks. Get the support you need at Sheridan Grove Recovery. 

Withdrawal symptoms associated with the following substances may include:  

• Alcohol: These withdrawal symptoms can lead to seizures, hallucinations, or delirium tremens (DTs). 
• Benzodiazepines: Sudden cessation of substances in this category may trigger seizures and severe anxiety. 
• Opioids (heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, etc.): Detox can include painful symptoms like vomiting, insomnia, and muscle cramps. 
• Stimulants (meth, cocaine, Adderall): Withdrawal may involve extreme fatigue, depression, and suicidal thoughts. 

At Sheridan Grove Recovery, we first assess every client to determine the safest and most effective approach for detox. 

At our Aurora-based rehab center, we combine medical excellence with compassion. Clients can expect: 

• 24/7 medical supervision to support and manage symptoms 
• Detox medications, when clinically appropriate, to ease cravings and other withdrawal symptoms 
• A comfortable environment in a tranquil setting 
• A supportive team of professionals who treat you with respect, not judgment 

Detox typically lasts between four and seven days, depending on the substance and your individual needs. Our goal is not just to get you through withdrawal, but to help you feel ready—mentally and physically—for inpatient treatment.
