Located in Galax, Virginia, Life Center of Galax provides detoxification services for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from addictions to substances including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamines, heroin, prescription drugs, cocaine, inhalants, marijuana, phencyclidine, and stimulants. Detoxification refers to the process of ridding a person’s body of harmful, addictive substances, and it is vital to achieving sustained recovery. Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and dangerous without the guidance of a professional. But with the help of our team, patients in our detox program can avoid painful symptoms of withdrawal and complete the process safely. Adults typically remain in our detox program between five and 14 days, during which time they may participate in therapeutic programming as needed.
