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

This place really helped me. I was struggling with opioid addiction. They helped me medically and helped with the mental trauma that I had been carrying for over 25 years. Also just wanted to add that Jo done a EMDR session with me. She was able to guide me through the trauma and I was able to forgive myself and others that hurt me for so long. I am able to testify and say this place saved me and now I am able to live life to the fullest. I also want to say that IOP’s Trish has done a wonderful done along with therapist Tina. Tina does a great job and listens to her patients. Amazing group of IOP Therapist.

I specifically chose T.R.V. for EMDR and was not disappointed At ALL!!! JoJo is wonderful, I HIGHLY recommend her ! I knew I had to deal with trauma, deal with myself, and deal with my alcoholism that nearly killed me…yet again. I received far more than I had anticipated. However, I will first give thanks to my Lord and Savior JC as He knew what I needed when I couldn’t make sense of anything. And second my AA sponsor John K. and Mr Joe who both helped me find and be accepted to T.R.V. Jane was extremely helpful in guiding me through inner child work. Jane is a very gifted, talented and knowledgeable woman that helped me tremendously and was the perfect therapist for me. Thank you Jane! The fact T.R.V is not a “12step program” or a “faith base program” yet all of it and more is there for the offering was very eye opening once I had arrived and woke up from the fog I was in. I saw God everywhere and I went in there basically denying Him for what had happened to me. (and what I had done to myself) I’m not religious at all, religion to me is for ppl who are afraid of going to hell, spiritually is for people who have been there. I’m so grateful I have my spirit back in healthy alignment to the Man up stairs. No place is perfect, if you want to change your life and you sincerely have a desire to change then go there with that attitude and hang on like it’s life or death, because at the end of the day if your reading this, chances are it is. I went and dug my heels in for what I needed, and yes selfishly! I wanted my life back and I have a solid foundation again thanks to what was there for the taking at T.R.V. They won’t spoon feed you a magic recovery pill. You have to want it. Unfortunately there are ppl who will be there for 100 other reasons other than wanting to change, and that’s anywhere you may choose to go. Find others who want to be there and hang with them, make friends, friends for life ! I have. It’s a temporary stay so don’t dwell on the small stuff, be greatful of the opportunity and take every bit of it you can for yourself, that’s my advice. I could do two months standing on my head yet you’ll have ppl In there dragging you down over the most trivial of things IF you Allow it.So many groups were outstanding and highly educational. Jodi’s groups were awesome, Harold, Charles… art with Jennifer, and her non art groups ….all of them, every one of the therapists / facilitators, they all have a wealth of knowledge and years of experience unique to themselves.I was beyond blessed to of met Mr Owo who tragically passed away while I was there. My sincere condolences to his family and friends, and the staff at T.R.V. Such an amazing man to say the very least. In the extremely short time I knew him, he personally impacted my life, he blew me away.God bless and good luck to whoever is reading this wishing your life would change. It can and it will if you are willing ! This is a great place so stop reading and quit bartering, and or manipulating others your hurting and just go, go for yourself ! Let go of stupid reasons not to go… job, the girl, the guy, money, blah blah … its all going to go away eventually, paradoxically if you go and sincerly change it will all get better, beyond your wildest dreams better!PS having my Golden Retriever service dog “Cooper” with me was a blessing to myself and all of the lives he was able touch at The Recovery Village. We hope to come back and lead some H&I meetings together. Everyone loves Cooper 😉 thank you Recovery Village for everything !

My EMDR session with Miss Jojo was an amazing life changing experience. She took a wounded woman and gave me the power to become the woman I am meant to be. Thank you.

I actually really took a lot from my stay at the recovery here. The groups therapy was excellent opening you to be comfortable with others that don’t judge and going through the same things as yourself it brings a lot into perspective and the individual therapy was definitely worth it as well i had stuff that i needed to get through to help me for my future and it really helped me in many areas. I do, however, think that maintenance should have more available times for emergency situations for example, air conditioners, severe pest control issues, and hot water going out. My stay here did involve the time when their hot water was out for an unhappy amount of time, but the treatment was good enough for me to stick it out and prefer to stay there like this I would assume an emergency situation that other vendors could’ve been assessed if we could’ve gotten the proper things needed to fix the situation although it is an uncommon thing to happen and all boilers have been replaced so it should not be future problem for others. The staff was excellent, very supportive and positive and helpful although it could use with a better system to train all the same rules amongst staff members some things were a learned by you go situation for them from what I could see but nothing severe it was just knowing who to ask so all things and answers were able to be found. Also staff and med list times and the beginning were a cluster F and you could tell they needed to train new staff better on the protocols or Perdiem nurses that were new but after a few weeks The system did get better with protocol using timeless and probably more training was involved so overall meds were not a problem. A lot is also about learning how to self advocate for yourself and take accountability or responsibility for certain actions or needs because in reality we do need to learn and practice these abilities for the outside after treatment. Also, your peer support is helped by facilities staff to steer people towards the right directions of others that may be able to help or understand what they’re going . There was many on site activities that were also held and privileges were earned for those that follow the rules the routine and structure but again we need this to help retrain our brains to help us better, cope and make better decisions in life to get through this jump and hurdle and continue on a recovered path. All in all I did value and appreciate my time. I also really value the relationships with staff and my peers that I was able to develop and the support I was able to use thank you very much recovery Village for the opportunity, faith, support, and guidance through this time in my life .

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.
