I’m considering starting a detox program soon, but I’m a bit nervous about what the first day is actually like. What usually happens when someone first arrives at a detox center? Are there medical evaluations or specific steps before treatment begins? I’d really appreciate hearing about what to expect.

Usually they start with an intake: paperwork, questions about your use, medical history, and a basic physical exam.
They’ll check your vital signs, maybe do bloodwork or a drug screen, and then start you on a detox plan, which can include meds to keep you more comfortable.
Most places also explain the rules, show you around, and help you settle in so you know what to expect over the next few days.
