Medically supervised withdrawal management, minutes from Memphis. Go home at night.
Not everyone who needs to detox can leave their life for a week. Jobs don’t pause. Kids still need pickup. For many people in the Memphis area, the choice isn’t between residential detox and outpatient detox, it’s between outpatient detox and nothing at all.
Our expert drug and alcohol rehab programs can help you find healing with ease and flexibility.
Withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, and some other substances can be medically dangerous. Detoxing at home without supervision carries real risk, and outpatient detox is only appropriate when your withdrawal can be safely managed with daily monitoring rather than around-the-clock care.
Before we admit anyone, our team completes a medical assessment covering what you're using and how much, how long you've been using, what happened during any previous withdrawal, your other medical and psychiatric conditions, and whether someone can be with you at home.
If that assessment shows you need a higher level of care, we tell you, and we help you get placed. We would rather refer you out than admit you to a program that isn't safe for you. If you've had withdrawal seizures or delirium tremens before, you should be evaluated for inpatient detox — call us or go to an emergency department.

Daily visits for vitals, symptom scoring, and medication adjustment, with your nights at home. Appropriate when your assessment shows withdrawal can be safely managed without overnight monitoring.
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few kinds that can become life-threatening. We score symptoms at every visit and manage them with medications. Patients with a history of seizures or DTs are referred for inpatient care.
Opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, kratom, and polysubstance use each withdraw differently and are managed differently. Your protocol is built around what you’ve actually been using and for how long.
Buprenorphine, naltrexone, Vivitrol — list only what you prescribe combined with counseling, for patients continuing past detox. We handle induction and ongoing prescribing in-house rather than referring out.
These are the practical differences between our program and a residential admission.
Most patients come in for a morning appointment and are at work by mid-morning. We schedule around your shift, not the other way around.
Withdrawal symptoms change day to day, and so should your medication.
In residential detox, you get stable inside a controlled setting and then face your real life on day eight. Here, you deal with your kitchen, your commute, and your phone from day one.
Residential beds have waitlists, and the gap between deciding to quit and getting a bed is where a lot of people lose the decision. We can typically complete a phone screening and schedule your assessment within 24 hours.
A residential admission means explaining a week away to your employer, your kids' school, and anyone who notices you're gone. Outpatient detox happens between a morning appointment and the rest of your day.
Detox is stabilization, not treatment. Finishing withdrawal without a plan for the following weeks is how most relapses start. Before you complete the program, we build your continuing care plan and schedule the first appointment
Outpatient Detox TN operates a single outpatient detox clinic at 7424 Highway 64 in Bartlett, about 10 minutes northeast of downtown Memphis and accessible from Cordova, Arlington, Lakeland, and Raleigh. We are not a call center or a referral service. When you call, you reach our clinic. When you come in, you're seen by the same clinical team every visit.
Our team includes Dr. Jawaun Lewis, Shelia Arnold, MSN, APRN, AGPCNP, Brittany Moten and Tara Wills, MBA.
Most people want one thing answered before they'll commit to detox: how long will this last. The honest answer depends on the substance, how long you've used it, and your own physiology — but the ranges are known, and knowing them makes the first few days easier to plan for.
Experiencing withdrawal is one of the most challenging aspects of overcoming substance use disorder.
