    I don’t want anyone to find out I’m in detox. Is that a problem?

    At Palm Beach Detox and Wellness, our facility caters to high profile individuals, such as business leaders, athletes and socialites. Discretion and patient privacy are of the utmost importance to our program. As a result, we understand the need for privacy during the detox process. Our Recovery and Wellness team members are trained to treat all of our patients with dignity, respect and discretion, and our facility is designed to help maintain your privacy.

    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.

    I am a business professional and I cannot take time off of work. Can I still work while in your facility?

    Yes, of course you can work from the facility. You have access to high speed Wi-Fi from your room, you can bring your cell phone, and you will have a desk and comfortable chair in your room to work from. We also have a workstation in the Atrium Lounge. We will honor any work accommodations you need upon request. We accommodate the needs of high-profile individuals, executives and professionals providing an environment where you can continue business as usual while receiving treatment services.
