Family Guidance Centers, Inc. medically supervised withdrawal (detoxification) is a process of removing physiological dependence while managing opioid withdrawal. Withdrawal management (detoxification) alone, however, is not a treatment for OUD and increases an individual's risk for relapse, overdose, and death when not followed with medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Family Guidance Centers currently collaborates with two Illinois hospitals to provide a "warm hand-off" for patients in hospital-based withdrawal management units to community-based treatment.
