Alcohol withdrawal can turn medically serious — which is exactly why it isn't something to ride out at home. As your body adjusts, expect anxiety, sweating, and shakes; in more severe cases, seizures. We watch closely from the first hours and ease it with medication when that's the right call. Most people are through the worst within a few days.
With cocaine, the hardest part isn't physical — it's the crash. The exhaustion, the heavy low, the cravings that hit right when you feel emptiest. That's the most challenging part, and it's exactly why we don't leave you to face it on your own.
Meth withdrawal means riding out a long, flat crash — no energy, no color, and a low that can feel bottomless. The danger is the despair, and how easy it is to revert back to using. We stay close through it, because getting past the crash is what makes everything after it possible.
Opioid withdrawal has a way of making one more hit feel like the only way to breathe again. That's the danger — not the sickness itself, but where the sickness sends you. After time away, what your body used to handle can be too much. We stay close and take the edge off, so you make it through instead of back.
Heroin withdrawal comes on hard and fast, and the craving can feel louder than anything else. The danger is the despair, and how fast it can push you back to using. Here, someone's with you through the worst hours, and medication takes the edge off so you can actually make it through.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal is one you should never stop cold turkey — done abruptly, it can trigger seizures. We taper you down carefully and medically, easing your body off at a pace that's safe rather than sudden, with close monitoring the entire way.
Most people aren't facing just one thing. Coming off more than one substance at once is harder to predict and riskier to do alone — so we build your detox around the whole picture, not a single piece of it.

For most people, about a week — though it depends on the substance and your body, and we monitor you around the clock the whole way. You'lltypically have a clear picture of your own timeline from the first day.
Some withdrawals — alcohol and benzodiazepines especially — can turn medically serious, even trigger seizures. At home there's no one watching for the signs and no medication to ease them. You don't have to white-knuckle it alone.
Then you're like most of the people who walk through our doors for the first time. Trying again isn't failing — it's the thing that eventually works. Our high medical detox completion rate is built on people who'd tried and stopped somewhere else first — we stay with you through the exact hours that beat you last time.
After detox, you keep going with us — into residential care, then a partial hospitalization program, and finally intensive outpatient care. And even after treatment, our alumni community keeps you connected for life. Legends covers the whole process, so you're never dropped or handed off between stages — unlike most treatment centers.
Most insurances are accepted. The fastest way to know for sure is to call — we can check your coverage on the phone, usually while you're still on the line, so you're not left guessing about cost before you start.
