Benefits of Hospital-Based Detox

Schedule a Consultation

    Alcohol and drug use can have long-term, harmful effects on the entire body.  It can negatively impact major organ systems including the central nervous system, chemicals in the brain, and even basic functions.  Because of this, there are a number of medical conditions that often coincide with alcohol and drug abuse. These conditions often times aren’t revealed until the patient is abstinent.  Being a hospital-based detox center, we have immediate access to hospital-grade support for varying conditions, making it the safest place for any patient that could potentially have a high-risk detox.  People that are at increased risk for complications, who have complex medical conditions, or are of older age are best served in a hospital-based detox setting. Withdrawal symptoms vary from person to person, and some withdrawal syndromes can be dangerous. Medical supervision ensures that each client is safe, stable, and receiving appropriate treatment at a moment’s notice.  We have immediate availability of emergency services including the Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Cath lab, IV fluids, and IV medications. We receive rapid results for blood and urine testing, EKG/ cardiac monitoring, and diagnostic imaging.  We are also able to provide Physical Therapy services for those who may be experiencing gait instability or have suffered from falls.

    Common medical conditions that may co-occur with substance abuse and/or withdrawal are:

    Withdrawal from substance abuse can be uncomfortable, dangerous, and potentially life-threatening.  It is vital that the safety and care of the patient during this time is of the utmost importance. We provide the highest level of safety and comfort in a hospital-based detox setting with personalized attention to each patient. Our 24/7 medical supervision ensures that each patient is stable and safe and is receiving the appropriate medical treatment at each step along the way.

    How long will the detox process take?

    The length of time needed for detox is highly variable depending on several factors including what substance the patient is using, how long they have been using, and the quantity they are using. It can also vary based on any medical complications. We do not discharge any patient until the medical and wellness staff agrees that a patient is stable and ready. Because we are a private pay facility, the length of stay is determined by the progress of the patient as opposed to a facility that takes insurance which may discharge according to how many days the insurance plan will cover. We have the flexibility to keep a patient as long as medically necessary.

    What are the costs involved for detox?

    The costs involved for detox under the medical management of Palm Beach Detox and Wellness Institute depends upon the individual needs and care requirements. We take great pride in our initial medical patient assessment where our trained physician and team members gain a better understanding and create a tailored care plan. The cost is strictly dependent upon each individual\'s case, what drug or drugs you are detoxing from, the extent and length of your abuse and more. Please call us today at 561.802.0929, and we will be happy to advise you. At this time, we are not able to accept insurance.

    Will you help with an aftercare plan?

    We will customize each patient’s after-care plan, just like we customize their detox and wellness plan. The Palm Beach Detox and Wellness Institute staff will have a meeting with the patient and any loved ones prior to discharge to tailor a treatment plan which is specific to their needs. 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.
