Medical Detox

Achieving long-term sobriety starts with creating a plan toward receiving proper treatment. This treatment usually starts with a medical detox program that must be both effective and compassionate. Detox is the first step in ultimate sobriety and one of the most important levels of care. It is a catalyst for recovery and the precursor to a long term treatment program for drugs and alcohol. Since our clients have to be free of drugs and alcohol before they enter the recovery program at Destination Hope, medical detox becomes all the more important. Detox helps those who have stopped using drugs and alcohol cope with the withdrawal and medically supervises them to ensure their safety. Detox also allows for more effective recovery program. After the drugs and alcohol are out of the addict’s system, a complete and longer term treatment program can be tailored to the individual.

The medical supervision that a medical detox program offers, helps the addict remove the alcohol, heroin, prescription drugs or other substances from their system in the safest way possible. The environment and supervision provided by our partner medical detox facilities promotes a great degree of comfort and safety that is important during this difficult time. Generally speaking, medical detox centers can offer the patients the medical treatment and medication they need to ensure that the withdrawal process is as painless as possible.

Here at Destination Hope we understand that finding the right medical detox facility is extremely important and as a result, we make every effort to place you in the most effective detox program for your particular needs. The medical detox programs with whom we work are reputable and fully licensed facilities that follow a strict set of client care standards. We only work with those centers that are knowledgeable and experienced in helping our clients fight their withdrawal in the most comfortable environment possible. When you speak to one of our admissions counselors, they will discuss your specific addiction issues and recommend the best course of treatment. Should you need detox, they will help place you in the right facility.

Detox however, is not effective on its own. Once the medical detox program has been completed, longer term drug treatment is the best course for an addict to follow. Destination Hope is a treatment center licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families and is accredited (gold seal) by the Joint Commission.
