Recovery NOW provides medically supervised drug detox in Madison, TN, for adults facing drug dependence. Our medical team checks your health, manages withdrawal, and builds a plan just for you. We treat addiction as a health issue and keep your care private. We monitor your progress and offer medication support when needed.
Start Drug Detox with Professional Support
At Recovery NOW, detox starts with a health review and a plan made for you. Our team watches your withdrawal symptoms and changes medication if needed, checking your progress along the way. We tailor care to your needs to keep detox safe and manageable.
We are a CARF-accredited, licensed Office-Based Opioid Treatment program in Tennessee. We offer detox support along with MAT, counseling, and behavioral therapy, supporting you from withdrawal through ongoing treatment.
Medication‑Assisted Drug Detox in Madison for Adults
Our detox program includes medication to help reduce cravings and make withdrawal easier. Our medical team reviews your substance use history and current health and prescribes FDA-approved medications if they align with your plan.
These are the medications we may use during detox and MAT care:
Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)
Suboxone is a mix of buprenorphine and naloxone. It attaches to opioid receptors in your brain and helps lower the urge to use. You take it as a film or tablet under your tongue. It supports your body during detox and helps lower the risk of relapse.
Vivitrol (Naltrexone)
Vivitrol blocks the effects of opioids, so you do not feel a high if you take them. It is given as a monthly shot or a pill. Your doctor will decide which form is best for your health and recovery stage after detox.
Subutex
We may use Subutex during opioid treatment. It can help adults who need medication support during withdrawal and early recovery.
Zubsolv
Zubsolv is another medication for opioid treatment. We may use it if your symptoms, treatment stage, or medical needs require that kind of support.
Sublocade
Sublocade is a monthly injection used for opioid treatment. For some adults, it provides longer-lasting medication support during recovery.
What Is Drug Detox?
Drug detox is a medical process that removes substances from your body under a doctor’s care. When you stop using drugs, your body reacts because it has become dependent. Withdrawal symptoms can include nausea, muscle pain, sweating, anxiety, and a fast heartbeat. Medical detox helps manage these symptoms so your body can adjust safely.
Detox alone does not treat addiction. It prepares your body and mind for the next steps in treatment. After detox, you can move into MAT, outpatient therapy, or IOP. These programs help address the underlying reasons for substance use.
When to Consider Medical Drug Detox
Quitting drugs suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms that are hard to handle alone. Cravings may also get stronger, making it tough to stay off the drug. If this happens often, medical detox can give you more support and help you get ready for the next stage of care.
- If withdrawal starts soon: Early symptoms can develop quickly and make it harder to keep going alone.
- When cravings keep pulling you back: Cravings can push drug use again before treatment gets started.
- After a hard time stopping at home: Home detox can become risky when symptoms rise, and no medical care is in place.
- Before moving into longer treatment: Detox can prepare you for MAT, therapy, IOP, PHP, psychiatry, or sober living support.
Signs You May Need Drug Detox
You may need detox if your body reacts to drug use, making it painful and hard to stop. This can lead to sleep problems, mood changes, or strong urges to use again. These signs show that early recovery might need more support. Detox can help you start in a safer, more supported way.
Physical Signs
- Nausea, sweating, or shaking before your first use of the day
- Muscle cramps, body aches, or restlessness
- Sudden weight loss or loss of appetite over time
- Irregular heartbeat, shallow breathing, or fatigue between doses
Psychological Signs
- Strong cravings that are hard to push out of your head
- Mood drops, irritability, or anxiety when you have not used
- Using the substance to cope with stress or emotional pain
- Feeling mentally foggy or unable to focus without using
- Guilt or shame around use, but continued inability to stop
Behavioral Signs
- Pulling away from family, friends, or daily responsibilities
- Continuing to use after losing a job, a relationship, or facing legal trouble
- Hiding how much you use or being dishonest about it
- Spending most of your time getting, using, or recovering from the substance
- Dropping hobbies or activities that used to matter to you
Types of Drug Use We Treat During Detox
Our detox program at Recovery NOW helps people withdraw from several types of substances. Each substance affects the body in its own way. Our medical team adjusts your care based on what you have used. We support adults in Madison and across Tennessee who are ready to start detox.
Opioid withdrawal causes some of the most physically uncomfortable symptoms. Your body stops producing natural pain‑regulating chemicals when opioids have been present long‑term. We use buprenorphine‑based medications to reduce those symptoms, helping support a more stable withdrawal period.
Heroin does not stay in the body for long, so withdrawal can start within 6 to 12 hours of last use. Symptoms can include vomiting, muscle spasms, and strong cravings. Medical oversight helps reduce the physical intensity of withdrawal and lowers the chance of immediate relapse during this vulnerable time.
Fentanyl is significantly more potent than other opioids. Even a small amount can cause strong dependence, and withdrawal can be unpredictable. Our medical team monitors you closely during fentanyl detox and adjusts medication dosing based on daily symptom changes.
Drug Detox Process at Recovery NOW
Before detox begins, our medical team reviews your health and substance use history and talks with you about any concerns. We guide you through each step, so you know what to expect. Recovery NOW accepts most major insurance plans, including TennCare, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Amerigroup, Humana, and Medicare. Contact us to check your coverage and take your first step toward recovery.
- Initial assessment: Your first appointment covers your medical history, current health status, and substance use pattern. A doctor reviews your vital signs, checks for any conditions that could affect withdrawal, and determines the level of care you need.
- Withdrawal review: After your assessment, our team evaluates how your body is responding as substance levels drop. We check for common withdrawal signs and monitor symptoms that need quick attention.
- Detox plan: Your detox plan is built from the information gathered in your assessment. It covers medication type, dosing frequency, and how often you will come in. We change the plan as your symptoms change.
- Medication support: We choose medication based on the substance involved, your withdrawal risk, and your overall health. Buprenorphine‑based medications, Vivitrol, and Sublocade are used where appropriate.
- Next step plan: Before you complete the detox phase, our team reviews options for the next steps. We discuss IOP, MAT maintenance, therapy, or sober living, depending on what suits your situation. You leave with a concrete plan rather than an open‑ended discharge. Ready to take the next step? Reach out to start your personalized recovery path with us today.
Co‑Occurring Mental Health Support During Drug Detox in Madison
Many people in Madison who go through drug detox also deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood issues along with substance use. These problems affect each other. If one is not treated, the other can be harder to manage.
Our program links detox care with outpatient psychiatry services at Recovery NOW. During your assessment, our doctor reviews your mental health history. We can add psychiatric support to your overall treatment plan. You do not have to separate mental health care from detox care.
Recovery NOW Is In-Network with All Major Insurers
Levels of Care We Provide During Drug Detox
Drug detox helps at the start of treatment when your body is in withdrawal. After detox, you may still need more care. Some adults need extra support for cravings, mental health symptoms, and daily recovery. Different levels of care can help you continue treatment in a steady way after detox.
MAT support
Medication‑Assisted Treatment continues after the acute detox phase. We manage your ongoing prescriptions and track your response to medication. Our doctor also works with counseling services as part of your care. MAT is part of ongoing addiction treatment, not just a short‑term step.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our IOP provides structured group and individual therapy several days per week. You return home after each session. After detox, some patients need a higher level of support that includes more medical contact than standard outpatient treatment.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP offers more frequent clinical contact than IOP. Patients attend programming for several hours each day while living at home or in sober housing. It helps patients move from structured care to greater independence, making the next step feel more manageable.
Sober living support
A stable home environment can help some patients stay in treatment. We provide sober living options as part of that support. A living space that supports sobriety can help during early recovery and lower relapse risk when daily pressure feels harder to manage.
Outpatient psychiatry
Our outpatient psychiatry services address mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other diagnoses. These services work alongside your addiction treatment as part of your care, rather than being placed in a separate system.
Safety Measures We Follow During Drug Detox
Some people go through detox with only mild discomfort, while others have strong physical reactions that need quick medical care. Our team at Recovery NOW stays involved at every stage to make sure nothing is missed. We check in often, watch how your body responds, and adjust your plan if your symptoms change. Our goal is to keep you physically stable from your first visit to the end of detox.
We also account for pre‑detox health conditions such as high blood pressure, liver concerns, and anxiety disorders, which can affect withdrawal.
- At each visit, we check your vital signs.
- When symptoms change, we review your medication.
- Before treatment starts, we include your health history in the plan.
- For more than one substance, we use a closer follow‑up.
- Along with body symptoms, we review mental health at each visit.
- During acute withdrawal, we track hydration and nutrition.
- Between visits, our care team stays available for urgent concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
The length of detox depends on the substance used, the duration of use, and how your body responds. Some patients move through acute withdrawal in a few days. Others need closer monitoring for a longer period. Your doctor reviews your progress at each visit and adjusts the timeline based on your clinical status.
Recovery NOW is in‑network with TennCare, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Amerigroup, Humana, and Medicare. Coverage for detox and MAT varies by plan. Call our office at (615) 416-8010 before your first appointment, and we can help confirm what your plan covers.
Detox removes substances from your body and stabilizes withdrawal. After that phase, most patients move into continued care such as MAT, an Intensive Outpatient Program, or outpatient therapy. Your care team at Recovery NOW discusses those options with you before detox ends so you have a plan in place.
MAT telehealth is available for Madison residents who cannot attend a clinic in person. You connect with a doctor remotely, receive a prescription for medication sent to a local pharmacy, and schedule follow‑up visits online. This option is covered by TennCare and most major insurers.
Detox and addiction treatment are different but connected. Detox addresses physical dependence and the withdrawal process. Addiction treatment covers the behavioral, psychological, and social factors that drive continued substance use. Recovery NOW provides both, which is why patients are connected to ongoing care programs after completing the detox phase.
