Alcohol Detox - Palm Beach Detox

Alcohol Withdrawal and Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox

When a heavy drinker stops consuming alcohol, their brain immediately experiences intense withdrawal. Without proper management, the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal may include: nausea, vomiting, headaches, body aches, hot and cold flashes, rapid pulse, anxiety, sleep disturbances, delirium, tremors, hallucinations and even seizures. At Palm Beach Detox and Wellness Institute, each patient is medically supervised during the alcohol detoxification ensuring the withdrawal process is safe and comfortable, minimizing the pain, discomfort and risk.

Understanding the Benefits of Hospital Based Alcohol Detox

While some programs offer an outpatient approach to alcohol detox, there is a much higher completion rate in inpatient programs. Additionally, we are able to offer 24-hour care to help ensure your comfort and safety. At Palm Beach Detox and Wellness, we have the ability to rapidly asses your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, if needed because of the hospital setting.

Identifying Underlying Medical Issues that Put You Into High-Risk Detox Level

Alcohol and drug use can have long term, harmful affects on the entire body. Because of this, in most cases there are co-occurring medical conditions that coincide with alcohol and drug abuse. These medical conditions often times aren’t revealed until the patient is abstinent. Receiving detoxification treatment in a hospital-based medical environment, we have access to hospital grade support for varying conditions, being the safest place for any patient that could potentially have a high-risk detox. People that are at high risk for complications, have complex medical conditions, or are of older age can benefit from hospital-based detox. We have immediate availability of emergency services including the ICU, Cardiac Cath lab, IV fluids, and IV medications. We receive rapid results for blood and urine testing, EKG/cardiac monitoring and diagnostic imaging.

For some patients, transitioning to a residential treatment facility may be appropriate. However, we understand that, for some individuals, alternate options may be preferred. Our team will work closely with you to devise a customized transitional care strategy that may include regular follow-up with our Addiction Medicine physician, our Recovery and Wellness Coach, as well as psychotherapy and wellness services, The staff will even go as far as bringing the patient to local twelve step, SMART, or Refuge Recovery Meetings. Each patient has different wants and needs, and we are here to create an aftercare plan together specifically for that individual.
