Medical Detox at The Recovery Village Palm Beach

Medical drug and alcohol detox is a critical starting point of addiction treatment. During a medically supervised detox, the body eliminates all drugs and alcohol from its system, which can lead to difficult and sometimes dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Our dedicated medical team provides round-the-clock supervision and treatment for any side effects, ensuring that detox is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Is medical detox right for me?

Medically supervised detox may be required to safely stop using drugs or alcohol if you experience any of the following:

  • I’ve tried stopping by myself before and it didn’t work
  • I use drugs or drink alcohol to avoid uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms
  • I’ve used drugs or alcohol in large amounts or for a long time
  • I’m addicted to alcohol or benzodiazepines, where withdrawal symptoms can be fatal

Good day, I'm a patient for the past 2months, my experience from day 1 has been completely professional. From the staff thru to housekeeping is a God sent. During one of my EMDR sessions I realized I would drink(doc) to forget all my troubles and drown my pain. But after the outing I had with my family for Thanksgiving, I did not drink I returned sober. I realized I was drinking to forget, when all along the key is to be sober to remember the good times. I feel COMPLETELY FREE. Thank you Recovery Village Staff.

My experience at RVPB was overall positive, life-changing actually. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any institution that operates perfectly, but my complaints about this place are relatively minor. Yes, the med line can be a tad chaotic at times. Yes, the food isn’t quite a 5-star dining experience. Yet, the benefits far outweigh the negatives here. The clinical staff in particular are absolutely amazing. Each and every single therapist and group facilitator helped me tremendously. If you get the opportunity to have an EMDR session with Jo Jo, you will not regret it. Through therapy, and Divine Intervention, I feel free from a lot of my past trauma that held me down for most of my life. I am leaving RVPB feeling like a brand new person—for the first time in my life, I feel like a normal functioning human, and honestly you can’t put a price on that. Thank you to all the wonderful supportive staff at RVPB, and may God bless you all.

TBT is the 3rd treatment that I have been to and by far the best. It will be my last. This place saved my life. The therapists and group facilitators are amazing. They get to the real reasons why individuals become addicts. They treat not only substance abuse but also the mental conditions being suffered by the individual. I would recommend TBT to anyone looking for help.

I’ve had deep seated and rooted trauma all my life. It seemed like I’d never be able to overcome the anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic disorder that consumed my existence. In a few short EMDR sessions with my therapist, I found freedom from the pain due to the emotional attachment of past memories. I’m so blessed and grateful to my therapists and staff members who have dedicated their lives to help me through my recovery process.

Recovery village is a top-notch drug and alcohol treatment facility. This facility is clean , well-run, and the staff gives 1,000% of themselves on a regular basis. Unfortunately this isn't my first rehab but I'll tell you, it's been by far the best. The food is very good the facility itself is super clean and the therapeutic staff is second to none. My primary counselor is the best I've ever had BY FAR. her name is Freddy she's well versed and a master at her craft. The EMDR specialist JoAnn Kutsukos is skilled beyond compare.. EMDR has changed not only my Outlook but my entire life. I wish I could have done this years ago.. if you're looking for a first rate Center for recovery look no further. I wish I had time to call out every staff member's name because everyone of them has touched me in one way or another in a positive light. If you're ready to restart your life and build a happy sober productive existence this is your stop

I've never been to treatment but this place has exceeded my expectations. I spent 45 days here and I recommend this facility for anyone seeking treatment for addiction. The BHT's are understanding, caring and compassionate. Margaret, Natasha and the rest of the Nursing Staff get the job done on a daily basis trending to all medical situations and medications. Chef's Adad and Joe and the rest of the team prepared plentiful and tasty meals everyday. Claudine, Jennifer, Augustine, Charles and the rest of the Group Facilitators do an excellent job with Group and Individual Therapy. Jonathon, Tina and the rest of the Facility Leaders handled whatever issues needed addressed that were outside the realm of whomever didn't resolve. Jimmy the Head BHT and Activity Coordinator goes above and beyond providing fun stuff for everyone and chaperoning shopping trips, church, service work and weekly AA Meetings. The Housekeeping Staff keep the Common Areas clean and tidy. Lastly but not leastly, the House Rockstar, Sonya, is instrumental as Case Manager. She makes sure your exit plan is solid and when discharge day comes, you're ready. This is a work and reward facility. The more work and progress you make in treatment, the more rewards and benefits you get. Recovery Village provided me with the knowledge, skills and tools to treat my addiction on a daily basis, one day at a time. Thank you, for I can say for the first time in my life, I'm sober and it's invaluable. I hope to see some of you again when I return to perform Service Work. God bless everyone there and please continue doing the OUTSTANDING job each and everyone does.

About Drug and Alcohol Detox

During the medical detoxification process, clients cleanse their bodies of drugs and alcohol under the care of medical professionals who help them manage withdrawal. Symptoms of withdrawal can be simply uncomfortable, or they can be life-threatening, depending on which substance(s) a person regularly used, and for how long they used it.

Though it is not always necessary to begin treatment with medical detox, rehab facilities generally do so since a successful medical detox reduces physical discomfort and promotes safety and commitment to recovery. These efforts can set the tone for a person’s recovery from addiction.

Who Needs Medically Supervised Drug and Alcohol Detox?

A person who has been using a substance for an extended time is likely to need medical detox to treat symptoms of withdrawal.

If someone has been taking one of these drugs, detox care is likely to be needed:

Why Is Medical Drug and Alcohol Detox Necessary?

Even for the most well-supported patients, the process of medical detoxification can be a daunting challenge during a delicate time. Medical detox provides a helpful structure and accountability, as well as guidance from professionals to help navigate complex situations.

The medical detox process provides 24-hour support and serves as an excellent template for a sustained recovery. Research shows that people who complete medical detoxification at the beginning of their recovery efforts have better outcomes than those who do not.

How Does Medically Monitored Drug and Alcohol Detox Work?

Medical detox works to cleanse a person’s body of all traces of drugs and alcohol so that they can begin recovery with a new foundation.

Medical detox programs directly address the physical manifestations of drug and alcohol addiction. These consequences include tolerance and dependence. The brain and body are chemically changed when drugs are used regularly. Some of the most significant changes are in chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Two of the most important ones are serotonin and dopamine, which help regulate feelings. Those chemicals surge with the use of certain drugs, creating a feeling of euphoria, or a high.

However, with constant use, drugs have a decreasing influence on neurotransmitters. More of a drug must be taken to experience the same effect. That state is called tolerance. Over time, the body becomes so accustomed to drugs that without it, the body becomes unstable. That state is called dependence. Abruptly stopping the use of a drug while in this state leads to withdrawal.

More FAQs About Medical Detox

How long is medical detox?

The duration of medical detox varies depending on several factors such as the substance used, withdrawal symptoms, and physical health. Generally, clients complete medically supervised detox within 5-7 days.

Can I detox at home?

We strongly discourage at-home detoxification. Withdrawal can be challenging and discouraging, increasing the risk of relapse and overdose. Certain substances, such as alcohol and benzodiazepines, can have life-threatening withdrawal symptoms that require immediate medical intervention.

Will I receive methadone, suboxone, etc., during detox?

The Recovery Village at Baptist Health offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as medically appropriate. Your clinical team will determine your needs and eligibility for MAT.

How can I pay for medical detox?

Insurance may cover some or all of the medical detox costs. The Recovery Village at Baptist Health can also work with patients without insurance to develop a private pay option.

Will I lose my job if I attend medical detox?

When attending medical detox and inpatient rehab, it is usually necessary to take a temporary leave from your job. Thankfully, there are laws in place to safeguard employees’ rights and provide protection during their time in detox & rehab.
