How Long Does a Detox in MA Take to Complete

“How long does detox take?” is the #1 question that most first-time patients ask.

At Mayflower Detox in MA, we understand the apprehension that can keep people from getting the help they need for drug and alcohol addiction. We strive to provide resources that can help patients understand and best prepare themselves for their Massachusetts detox experience.

Below is a simple graphic that details what an example of a Massachusetts detox timeline might look like. Most detox programs at Mayflower in MA consist of two phases: 1) Acute Treatment Services (ATS or medically monitored detox; and 2) and Clinical Stabilization Services (CSS).

For a client who stayed for both detox and residential treatment, their combined, “typical” stay at Mayflower is approximately 3-4 weeks.
