I used this facility twice for heroin detox. Each time I was able to continue for the 3-4 days of treatment of withdrawal symptoms. You have to stay in holding for almost 24 hrs so the staff can observe and assess the severity of your withdrawal symptoms. They take your vitals every few hours to make sure you're stable, especially for alcohol dependent patients and benzo patients,they also take notes on your symptoms. You can't bring in anything that may ease your symptoms, like sleep aides. If you're serious about recovery, they give you the necessary resources to follow up with organizations that can help. The last time I was there was four years ago and my only real complaint was that there are people that use it as a hunting ground to make sales to desperate people, so hopefully they've come up with a way to filter those types out.
