There are actually less than 100 detox centers in Florida that
are in a residential or hospital inpatient setting. In addition, most of these
detox facilities only do the minimum amount to stabilize someone before
discharging them, or worse, send them out the door with prescriptions for more
drugs.

Most people who have been through detox before wind up going back again. Often times the reason for this is because the detox center didn't fully handle their withdrawal symptoms or they never went on to do the next phase of treatment, which is a longer-term rehabilitation program. We specialize in locating detox centers that work with individuals to get the best possible result from detoxification, including a referral to a follow-up treatment center that is successful.

The recent rise in prescription drug addiction in Florida has
created a much higher demand for specialized detoxification facilities. The
reason for this is that there are many withdrawal symptoms, both acute and
lingering, associated with drugs such as painkillers, benzodiazepines,
antidepressants, antipsychotics and methadone. A detox center must be able to
fully identify and treat these withdrawal symptoms in addition to simply
stepping someone down off of these drugs.
Many opiate users feel they need a detox center, whether it is necessary or not. The reason for this is that opiates such as Oxycontin, Vicodin, heroin, methadone and a long list of others have very painful withdrawal symptoms that include nausea, cold sweats, aches and pains, sleeplessness and diarrhea. Fear of these symptoms is one reason why many opiate addicts fail to seek treatment, but a good detox center will handle these by making it as comfortable as possible and getting them ready for the treatment portion after detoxification.
Extremely high levels of alcohol consumption can also create a need for a detox center. Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly when involving DT's that have heavy shakes and siezures. A general test if it is needed or not is to find out when the last time the individual has gone more than 24 hours without alcohol and what type of symptoms they experienced at that time. Rather than making the decision on your own, it is important to consult with proper medical staff, and we can assist you in locating detox professionals who can make that determination.
