Medically Supervised Drug & Alcohol Detox at the Palm Beach Institute in Florida

Although detoxification is usually a short process, it is not one to be taken lightly, because it is one of the toughest stages of the journey to sobriety and lays the foundation for completing a full alcohol or drug rehab program. During the detoxification process, clients are not only adjusting their bodies’ internal balances, breaking the habits of substance use, and beginning to regain health, but they are also being counseled and prepared for the addiction treatment program.

Drug and alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms are strongest during the first few days after stopping drugs or alcohol and some people may need medical supervision during this period. Medically supervised detoxification reduces the severity of the symptoms, which makes the detox process more comfortable -- and since the withdrawal symptoms of certain drugs can be very dangerous, medical supervision ensures the patient's safety. A typical medical detox lasts from 3-7 days. More rarely, people need up to 2 weeks of medical care to withdraw safely.

At the Palm Beach Institute, we provide helpful information about medical detoxification and, in the event that is it required, will make all of the necessary arrangements to ensure as stress-free a detox experience as possible.
