Here's what happens:
Round-the-clock medical care and monitoring
Medications to ease withdrawal symptoms
Individual and group therapy
Connection to ongoing treatment after you complete the program

Frequently Asked Questions
How bad will the withdrawal feel?
This is the most common fear—and it makes complete sense. Withdrawal symptoms can be uncomfortable. But here's the truth: You won't be white-knuckling through this alone in a bedroom somewhere, wondering if what you're feeling is normal or dangerous.
Our medical team monitors you 24/7. We use medications specifically designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms and keep you comfortable. When your body needs support, we're right there to provide it. The whole point of medically monitored detox is to make this process as safe and manageable as possible.
What happens after the 7 days?
You won't be walking out our doors with just a handshake and a "good luck." Before you leave, we help you connect with the right next steps—whether that's outpatient therapy, support groups, medication-assisted treatment, or other services that fit your needs.
Recovery isn't just about getting through detox. It's about building a life you don't want to escape from. We make sure you have a plan and the support to follow through.
Do I have to have insurance?
No. This program is specifically for uninsured adults 18 and older. We're a nonprofit, and we don't turn people away for financial reasons.
What substances does your program treat?
We provide medically monitored detox for opiates (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers), alcohol, and benzodiazepines (like Xanax, Valium, or Klonopin).
Can I bring my phone or personal items?
Yes, within reason. When you call, our team can walk you through what to expect and what to bring.
Will I be forced to do activities or therapy if I don't feel well?
No. Your comfort and medical stability come first. You'll have opportunities for group sessions and therapy, but if you need to rest, that's completely okay.
What if I've tried to quit before and it didn't work?
That's common—and it doesn't mean you can't succeed. Many people need multiple attempts before recovery sticks. The important thing is that you're trying again, and this time you'll have medical support to help you through the physical part.
Can I really afford this?
Yes. Alliance Healthcare Services is a nonprofit organization, and this is the only detox program in Shelby County specifically for people without insurance. We don't turn anyone away because they can't pay. If you need to safely detox, we're here for you—period.
