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 interested in being a patient at your facility. What is the next step and how soon can I come in?
Please call us at 561-802-0929. You will speak directly to someone from The Palm Beach Detox staff. We will get to know you and your current situation, and then conduct a thorough phone assessment. As soon as you are ready for admission, transportation will be arranged. We are here for you 24/7. We are ready the moment you say you are.
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.
