If you’re struggling with drug use, just thinking about detox can feel overwhelming—but you’re not alone. At Warsaw Recovery Center, we offer medically supervised drug detox services in Warsaw, Virginia, serving individuals across Richmond County, Westmoreland, Essex, and nearby areas like Tappahannock, Kilmarnock, and Fredericksburg.
Whether it’s opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or other substances—we’re here to help you safely withdraw and start your recovery in a calm, judgment-free space.
We’re here to answer your questions with honesty, not pressure.
Detox isn’t treatment—but it’s the essential first step. When your body is dependent on drugs, stopping suddenly can be dangerous. That’s why we provide 24/7 medical monitoring and compassionate care throughout the detox process. At Warsaw Recovery, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and dignity every step of the way.
Support for Withdrawal from a Range of Drugs
We help people detox from:
Opioids like heroin, oxycodone, morphine, fentanyl
Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, Klonopin
Stimulants such as meth, cocaine, and prescription ADHD meds
Prescription medications taken outside of medical guidance
If you’re not sure whether you need detox, give us a call. We’ll talk through your experience and help guide you toward the right level of care.
Every detox journey is unique—but having a general idea of what to expect can make the process feel less overwhelming. Here’s a typical timeline for drug detox, depending on the type of substance, how long you’ve been using, and your overall health:
6–12 Hours After Last Use
Mild withdrawal symptoms may begin. You might feel anxious, restless, or agitated.
1–3 Days
This is usually the most intense phase. Symptoms peak and may include nausea, sweating, insomnia, and emotional distress.
4–7 Days
Physical symptoms begin to ease. Psychological effects—like depression or anxiety—may still linger.
1+ Weeks
You may continue to experience fatigue, cravings, or emotional ups and downs as your body adjusts.
At Warsaw Recovery Center, our team is by your side throughout the entire detox process. We monitor your health, provide comfort-focused support, and adjust your care plan in real time—so you don’t have to face withdrawal alone.

Why Medical Detox Is Always the Safer Choice
While it may be tempting to try detoxing at home, especially if you’re scared or embarrassed to ask for help, it can be extremely dangerous—and even life-threatening.
Withdrawal symptoms from substances like opioids, benzos, and alcohol can cause seizures, hallucinations, extreme dehydration, and heart complications. Without medical supervision, these symptoms can quickly escalate. Detoxing alone also increases the risk of relapse, especially when cravings become overwhelming.
At Warsaw Recovery Center, we provide 24/7 medical care and emotional support to keep you safe, stabilize your body, and give you the best possible start to your recovery. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Help is here.
A Team That Truly Cares—Because We’ve Been There
Our medical staff, addiction specialists, and licensed therapists are dedicated to helping you heal. Many have personal or family experience with addiction—and they bring that deep understanding to every interaction. You’ll never be treated like a number here. You’ll be seen, supported, and respected.
The Next Step Toward Lasting Recovery
Detox is just the beginning. After stabilization, you’ll have options for continuing care right here in Virginia:
