Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Detox in San Antonio, TX
What is Outpatient Detox?
Outpatient detox is a structured treatment program that allows individuals to safely withdraw from drugs or alcohol under medical supervision while continuing to manage daily responsibilities such as work, school, or family life. Unlike inpatient detox, outpatient detox does not require an overnight stay at a facility, making it a more flexible and cost-effective option.
At Nova Recovery Center, our outpatient detox program in San Antonio provides personalized medical care, ongoing monitoring, and supportive therapies to ensure a safe, comfortable withdrawal process.

Is Outpatient Detox Right for You?
Outpatient detox is not for everyone. It is most effective for individuals who:
- Have a mild to moderate level of addiction.
- Are highly motivated to recover and can commit to scheduled treatment sessions.
- Have a strong support system at home.
- Do not have life-threatening withdrawal symptoms or severe medical complications.
If you’re unsure whether outpatient detox is right for you, our team will conduct a full assessment to determine the best treatment plan for your situation.
