How It Works & What to Expect

The initial decision to seek addiction treatment can be liberating, but the early days of treatment can be challenging. While you may feel ready to commit to long-term sobriety, getting through initial withdrawal symptoms can be difficult. Our medical detox program at Virtue Recovery Killeen offers a safe, supervised approach to eliminating drugs or alcohol from your system by providing expert medical and clinical care and support.

Why Medical Supervision Matters

Medical detox is different from other forms of detox in that it takes place under the close supervision of medical professionals specializing in addiction treatment. Our team can provide prescription medications as needed to help reduce uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. This program is best suited for people who are physically dependent on drugs or alcohol and may be at risk for extremely adverse effects of withdrawal, such as seizures.

Evidence-Based, Individualized Care

At Virtue Recovery Killeen, our medical detox treatment program uses evidence-based practices to ensure that clients are as safe and comfortable as possible. We provide 24/7 expert medical and clinical care that includes close monitoring of vital signs and one-on-one individualized support for our clients.

  • Individualized treatment planning
  • Nutritional support and comfort care

Your Next Step

When your stay in medical detox has ended, you will be well-equipped to continue your journey of sobriety and recovery. Our residential and outpatient programs offer further treatment, support, and guidance, and our staff is here to assist you along the way.

Evidence-Based Treatment

How We Treat. Not Just Where.

Our comprehensive clinical approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic modalities, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)

Evidence-based approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors driving addiction. CBT equips you with practical skills to manage triggers, cope with cravings, and build healthier responses to stress.

Trauma-Informed Care

Specialized treatment addressing underlying trauma that often fuels substance use disorders. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that PTSD and addiction frequently co-occur, and uses evidence-based therapies like Seeking Safety, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness-based grounding techniques to help process traumatic experiences safely.

Group Therapy

Regular clinical groups building connection, accountability, and shared recovery. Group therapy provides a supportive community where you can learn from others' experiences, practice interpersonal skills, and develop the peer support network essential for long-term sobriety.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians tailored to your specific needs. Individual therapy provides a confidential space to explore personal challenges, process emotions, work through past traumas, and develop a personalized strategy for sustained recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Our psychiatric team works alongside licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) to address both conditions simultaneously, which has been shown to produce better outcomes and reduce relapse risk.

Relapse Prevention

Practical coping strategies, trigger identification, and sustainable planning for long-term recovery. Our relapse prevention programming helps you recognize warning signs, develop healthy responses to high-risk situations, and build a comprehensive plan for maintaining sobriety after treatment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Especially effective for individuals with intense emotions and co-occurring borderline personality disorder, DBT teaches practical skills to manage overwhelming feelings without turning to substances.

Equine Assisted Therapy

Therapeutic interaction with horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and communication skills. Killeen contracts with trained equine therapy instructors to provide experiential sessions that help clients develop confidence, self-regulation, and healthy relationship patterns outside the traditional clinical setting.

SMART Recovery

Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) is a science-based alternative to 12-step programs. SMART Recovery focuses on four key areas: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life — empowering you to take control of your recovery.

Holistic Therapies

Our holistic therapy offerings include Sound Healing, Yoga, Music & Art Therapy, and Dog/Pet Therapy. These mind-body approaches complement clinical treatment by reducing stress, promoting emotional expression, improving physical wellness, and supporting whole-person healing throughout the recovery process.

Seeking Safety

Present-focused therapy designed for co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders. Seeking Safety teaches practical coping skills across cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains without requiring clients to revisit traumatic memories before they are ready, making it a safe entry point for trauma recovery.

Matrix Model

A structured outpatient treatment approach combining CBT, family education, 12-step facilitation, drug testing, and relapse prevention into an integrated framework. The Matrix Model provides a clear, organized structure that helps clients build self-esteem, restore dignity, and develop a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.

Medical Detox Program FAQ

Common questions about our medical detox program at Virtue Recovery Killeen.

How long does medical detox take?

Medical detox typically lasts 3-10 days depending on the substance, severity of dependence, and individual health factors. Alcohol detox usually takes 5-7 days, opioid detox 5-10 days, and benzodiazepine detox may take longer due to tapering protocols. Your medical team at Virtue Recovery Killeen monitors your progress daily and adjusts the timeline as needed.

Is detox painful?

Medical detox at Virtue Recovery Killeen is designed to minimize discomfort. Our physicians use FDA-approved medications to manage withdrawal symptoms like nausea, anxiety, insomnia, and muscle aches. While some discomfort is normal during withdrawal, medically-supervised detox is significantly safer and more comfortable than attempting to detox on your own.

What medications are used during detox?

Medications depend on the substance being detoxed. For opioid withdrawal, options include buprenorphine (Subutex/Suboxone) and clonidine. For alcohol withdrawal, benzodiazepines and anticonvulsants may be used to prevent seizures. Our medical team at Virtue Recovery Killeen selects medications based on your specific needs, medical history, and the latest evidence-based protocols.

What happens after detox?

Detox is the first step, not the complete treatment. After completing detox at Virtue Recovery Killeen, most clients transition directly into our residential or outpatient programs for ongoing therapy, counseling, and relapse prevention. Our clinical team helps you create a seamless transition plan before detox ends so there is no gap in your care.
