However, at our Boca Raton detox center, you can find the compassionate help you need.

In Boca Raton, seeking help is a little easier with our compassionate assistance at The Detox Center. As a comprehensive resource for medically-supervised detoxification, we are happy to support you during your first steps toward sobriety.

Our Boca Raton Detox Center

For many individuals with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, finding the strength to seek help isn’t always easy. It’s common for those living with substance use disorders to feel as though no one understands or is willing to assist. This creates a world of isolation and a continued downward spiral. However, this is not true. Help is available, and it starts with detox.

At our Boca Raton detox center, we are always available to help those fighting against addiction to regain the upper hand. We can work with substance users of all kinds. We address dependence on street drugs, prescription medications, and alcohol using revolutionary techniques to manage withdrawal and facilitate meaningful, long-lasting results.

What Is Detox?

For those with substance use disorders who enter a rehabilitation program, detox is often the first step. Short for detoxification, detox refers to the process of cleansing the body of the physical bonds of addiction. Once users have made it through the symptoms that accompany initial cessation, they are free to address the psychological components of substance abuse.
For many users, quitting addictive substances is hard for one significant reason: withdrawal symptoms. Due to the ways in which substances like alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines affect the brain, the body becomes reliant on drug use to continue feeling normal. When the drug in question is taken away, the body reacts negatively. This leads to steep cravings that are almost impossible to overcome alone.

Detox is generally uncomfortable, with symptoms that include the following:

  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Sweating
  • Muscle pain
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting

Withdrawal can actually be dangerous for some substances, including alcohol and benzodiazepines. As such, patients at our Boca Raton detox center work closely with a medical team around the clock to minimize discomfort and ensure safety.

The duration of withdrawal varies from several days to several weeks, depending on the substance in use. For some drugs, withdrawal is the worst in the first 48 to 72 hours. For others, symptoms peak over a week or more.

Detox for Alcohol Use

Alcohol is among the most commonly abused substances in the United States. More individuals face alcohol use disorder than any other legal or illegal drug. Alarmingly, alcohol also has some of the most serious withdrawal symptoms, including delirium tremens, fever, and seizures. To mitigate these risks, our doctors are always on hand to monitor your condition and provide medical attention. For those with extreme withdrawal, doctors may prescribe benzodiazepines, anti-anxiety medications, and anti-psychotics to best address the challenges in withdrawal. Due to the duration of our alcohol detox center program, our patients may require longer stays than those detoxing from illicit or prescription drugs.

In addition to the use of medication, our alcohol detox program also incorporates counseling, psychological care, and alternative therapy opportunities, like yoga, massage, and acupuncture.

Detox for Drug Use

For many substances, detox is a necessary part of recovery. The initial days or weeks after quitting any drug can be very unpleasant, leading to steep relapse rates in those who do not seek professional assistance.

At The Detox Center, we offer specialized detox center programs for most major illicit and prescription drugs, providing support and care throughout the early stages of your journey. Whether you have developed an addiction over the last several months or have been a serious user for years, we can help you proceed in the best possible way.

The services we have available to the South Florida community include:
  • Cocaine detox
  • Painkiller detox
  • Prescription drug detox
  • Barbiturate detox
  • Benzodiazepine detox
  • Opiate detox
  • Heroin detox
  • Methamphetamine detox

Our approach to detox is multifaceted. The services and treatments we recommend depend on the drug in question, history of use, overall health, and specific symptoms. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we strive to find a personalized solution to ensure the process of eliminating drugs from your life is as easy as possible. This may mean using over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, counseling, and even alternative therapy to help you best prepare for the next phase of your recovery.
