Texas Women’s Drug Detox Center

Why Choose Our Women’s Only Drug Detoxification Facility?

We have created a specific women’s only drug detoxification facility to help women recover from their addictions. Focusing on women’s specific issues while providing a community of support during the detox process, The Fullbrook Center has the program needed for you or your loved one to heal.

Detox is the first step in recovery. Most women need additional time in an addiction treatment program to receive the full benefits and obtain the necessary skills to overcome addiction. Here, we provide a full continuum of care with personalized treatment plans, allowing you the best opportunity for recovery.

Following the completion of a substance abuse detox, we urge women to enter our inpatient program. Nestled on the same property as our detox, we provide a smooth transition into our addiction treatment center. With our individualized treatment plans, clients will participate in individual therapy and group, experiential, and family therapy sessions during residential treatment. Participating in therapy and attending educational groups while building a sober support system provides you with the tools you need to overcome your substance abuse problem.

At The Fullbrook Center , we also provide clients referrals for reputable intensive outpatient programs (IOP) after completing our residential program. Outpatient programs help prevent relapse and allow clients to stay engaged in treatment services for an extended period of time. Providing continued support aids clients in maintaining sobriety as they re-enter life.

Detoxing From Drugs Can Be Life Threatening Without The Right Help

Specific drugs can be life-threatening to detox from without the right help. At The Fullbrook Center, we offer a full medical drug detox to help you or your loved one safely withdraw from the substances they have been using. Medical detox consists of 24-hour medical care provided by our doctors, substance-use-trained nursing staff, and psychiatric services. Our treatment team monitors your symptoms and keeps you comfortable so your body and mind can begin to heal.

One of the most dangerous substances to detox from is benzodiazepines, otherwise known as benzos. Abruptly stopping this medication can cause severe anxiety, nausea, seizures, and more. The dangers of withdrawal from this drug are severe. Therefore, it is vital to your safety and well-being to enter an addiction detox center equipped with 24-hour medical care to help you safely navigate this process.

Upon admission, our medical team completes an in-depth health assessment. This screening will review your physical health, evaluate you for any mental health disorders, and gather your use history. Once the evaluation is complete, we create an individualized detox plan designed to keep you safe and comfortable while beginning the treatment process. With the right medical team and medication management, your detox can be completed safely without the fear of experiencing severe or life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.

Common Withdrawal Symptoms for Women Suffering From Drug Abuse

Women suffering from drug abuse will experience some common withdrawal symptoms when they stop using. Symptoms vary based on age, use history, and overall health. The discomforts of detox can be significantly reduced in an addiction treatment program like The Fullbrook Center, where our medical team can properly assess your symptoms and provide the needed medications.

Opiates like heroin, Vicodin, or oxycontin, are incredibly addictive. While the detox process is not life-threatening, it is one of the most uncomfortable detoxes to endure. Most women are unsuccessful in detoxing from these addictive substances on their own. The Fullbrook Center specializes in detoxes like these. Our highly trained medical team will monitor you and help alleviate detox symptoms to keep you as comfortable as possible.
