Detoxification is a critical part of the recovery process. It allows patients to purge harmful residual toxins from their systems, regain their energy, and approach rehab with clarity and focus. Affordable Addiction Treatment offers detox in South Florida that provides medically-led treatment to individuals with substance use disorders. This level of care is administered by our team of medical professionals to ensure that each client receives safe and effective care. Below is more information about our Florida detox services and how we can support you or a loved one through withdrawal recovery.

What Is Drug Detox?

A detox from drugs refers to the process of ridding these substances from the body. While many individuals with substance use disorders attempt to detox at home, the safest and most effective route is usually medically-assisted detox held at a facility like our inpatient drug rehab. 

Medical detox or medically managed withdrawal treatment places patients on a tapering schedule, during which doses are gradually reduced. Patients may also undergo therapy and/or receive detox medication (as needed) to alleviate discomfort or pain associated with withdrawal symptoms. 

Withdrawal symptoms occur when people quit or cut back on substance abuse after long-term use. Chronic and heavy use of drugs and alcohol usually results in physical and psychological dependence, which can make it difficult for the individual to function normally without them, and this includes the occurrence of withdrawals.

Common drug withdrawal symptoms include: 

  • Agitation
  • Anxiety 
  • Cravings 
  • Depression
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Headaches
  • Irritability 
  • Mood swings
  • Muscle aches and pains
  • Nausea and/or vomiting
  • Shaking

The severity and duration of withdrawal symptoms vary depending on a variety of factors, including:

  • Age
  • Co-occurring mental health disorders
  • Duration of substance use
  • Family history of addiction or mental illness
  • Genetics
  • Medical issues
  • Method of drug administration (snorting, smoking, injecting, or swallowing)
  • Type of substance used

Medical detox centers like our South Florida detox center aim to medically stabilize the individual, minimize their withdrawals, prevent harmful effects or interactions from occurring, and help them transition into an addiction treatment program or other levels of care. 

Our Florida Drug Detox 

Individuals who attempt to detox at home or without medical supervision risk undergoing various complications. Major risks associated with detox include severe dehydration and psychological challenges like suicidal thoughts and depression. Without the support of a medical team equipped to manage these problems, they can escalate to more severe and even permanent repercussions. 

At Affordable Addiction Treatment, we use effective medical care to reduce the severity and duration of withdrawals and offer round-the-clock supervision to ensure our clients’ safety and success in rehab. Our detox in South Florida offers clients the chance to free themselves of a substance while their health and safety are supervised in a professional and medical setting.
