Detox Center

Substance use disorders are a group of serious mental health conditions characterized by compulsive substance abuse that persists despite negative consequences. Also known as drug and alcohol addiction, these mental health disorders are notoriously hard to treat and can often be deadly.

However, there are a plethora of treatment centers out there that are dedicated to helping people overcome addiction. And, for many of those seeking recovery from drug addiction, a substance abuse treatment program will begin with a detox process, which serves the purpose of addressing dependence physically before it can be addressed psychologically.

This page will give you a brief overview of what you should expect from detox programs as well as from the subsequent drug or alcohol treatment you or your loved one may require. It will also introduce you to our Boca Detox center, Reco Intensive, as well as to Boca Raton, Florida and the wider South Florida area, which is a popular destination for many people in search of drug rehab or treatment centers.

What To Expect From A Boca Detox Center

Especially if they use a substance habitually for a long period of time, those who struggle with addiction may form physical bonds with their drug of choice, known as a chemical dependency. This means that they need to take the drug just to maintain physical equilibrium, and may experience painful withdrawal symptoms when they quit the drug, alcohol included.

However, the right detox center can help tame withdrawal, making for as close to a pain-free detox as is possible. At a medical detox center, clinical staff will be able provide patients with the appropriate prescription medications to ease these withdrawal symptoms, and medical supervision will allow medical and clinical professionals to step in in the case of a medical emergency.

This is especially true of an alcohol detox program, since alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs to detox from. However, users of certain street drugs like heroin may also benefit enormously from time in our Boca detox center and the supervision of medical professionals, since opiates are known to be very uncomfortable to detox from. Later in the process, these patients may be given medication-assisted treatment in order to ease their continual physical cravings as they work to regain their mental health.

Understanding Drug And Alcohol Addiction Treatment Programs

After up to a week in a detox center, Boca Raton patients will likely be ready to move on to a more comprehensive drug rehab or alcohol rehab program. A Boca Raton, FL treatment center may also offer both detox programs and other mental health and addiction treatment services under the same roof.

Others may have to move to a different treatment facility after the detox process. These treatment centers may offer residential treatment programs or outpatient treatment programs. Though a residential treatment program offers round-the-clock care, making it more appropriate for patients with severe mental health problems, outpatient drug rehab allows patients to live at home while reporting frequently to their recovery center.

In fact, in a partial hospitalization program, they may report to their recovery center as many as five times a week for as many as eight hours a day! Such extensive therapy is often necessary for recovering substance users as they relearn how to live a fulfilling life without drug addiction.

Though addiction specialists often design individualized treatment plans for each client, you can usually expect behavioral therapy to be at the center of a patient’s treatment. Programming at a recovery center will also likely include group therapy, which may incorporate the teachings of twelve step groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or may be focused on other treatment goals.

Psychotherapy groups provide a secure environment for patients to discuss their addiction and mental health struggles, which can facilitate meaningful conversation and allow those in treatment to connect to one another.

Quality care at an addiction treatment center will also likely include the identification and treatment of any co-occurring disorders that may be complicating an individual’s addiction. Mental health problems including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia, are quite common in addiction patients and must be adequately addressed along with the addiction itself to maximize an individual’s chance of recovery.
