Why Detox Might be the Right Choice for You

The Detox Center Coronavirus Policy Update

As we closely monitor the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, we are taking every precaution to ensure our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our clients and staff. This guides each and every decision we make.

We have and will continue to follow the guidelines of our local health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC} the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Broward and Palm Beach County Health Departments. As a result, we stay current on this evolving situation, we want to assure you that we are taking the appropriate and precautionary measures, such as:

• Ensuring proper and rigorous cleaning and sanitation of common surfaces

• Requiring hourly sanitization of all staff and clients

• Provision of additional sanitizing products to our clients and staff

• Ongoing staff training to enhance cleaning and disinfecting procedures to maintain a healthy environment

• All employees are required to remain home in the event:

o They display any signs or symptoms of being ill. Employees who report to work ill will be sent home in accordance with these health guidelines.
oIf the employee has traveled outside of the state of Florida by any means or if an employee has traveled via cruise or airplane to any destination, that employee must report to management and Human Resources and self-isolate at that time.

Regarding current and admitted patient's change of schedule, the following has been implemented:

• Some programs and therapies have been temporarily postponed due to COVID-19

• Grocery shopping will be completed by the facility staff

• Clients are urged to keep a safe distance from other persons

• Hourly mandatory hand washing breaks are in effect

• Clients have been instructed to report to medical staff any symptoms

• Clients will not be admitted to the facility if any of the following symptoms are present:

o Fever above 100 degrees
o Consistent Dry Coughing
o Shortness of Breath
o Severer body aches, that surpass PAWS range and/or
o Sore Throat

If a client does contract coronavirus, they will be isolated and quarantined on location. The client will only be handled by designated staff with the proper PPE. The local Department of Health (or equivalent agency) will be informed so that they may come out and provide further guidance on how to best handle the individual. All suspected cases are reported to the Department of Health (or local agency) who will be handling it accordingly. A deep cleaning will occur at the identified location.

Additional information regarding the virus can be found on the Broward Health Department's website or the Centers for Disease Control website.

We will continue to work together to ensure the safety of our patients and team members and adhere to any new regulatory changes as they come.

Sometimes people talk themselves out of kicking a drug habit because they are afraid of the detox process. This fear is understandable. The detoxification process can be scary. Withdrawal symptoms can be extremely taxing on the body, both mentally and physically. That is why it is highly recommended that you seek the help of a professional detox center, so you make the decision to break free of your addiction. Here’s why detox might be the right choice for you.

Ready to Quit But Don’t Know Where to Start

It is ok to feel like you are ready to change your life but unsure where to begin. You are not alone in that at all. The first step to recovery is detox. A detox center is full of trained professionals that have helped countless people rid their bodies of drugs and alcohol. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary during the detox process. Therefore, entering a detox center is the safest way to start kicking your addiction.

Ready to Start the Recovery Process

Kicking a substance addiction is not just about quitting the drug or substance itself. Oftentimes there is underlying trauma or mental health issues that need to be addressed. Once you have detoxed, that process can begin. There will be medical professionals and trained therapists there to help you through the emotional process in a professional detox center. It may be the hardest thing you have ever done, but it will also be the most rewarding. You cannot begin to heal until you have faced the things from your past that led to your addiction. Recovery professionals know how painful this can be, and they will be there for you every step of the way.
