Detox Treatment Program in North Port

Withdrawal experiences vary based on several factors, including the substance being used, the length of time it has been used, and the amount consumed. In certain cases, withdrawal can lead to serious health risks, which is why professional supervision is essential. 

Physical withdrawal symptoms may include: 

• Exhaustion 

• Muscle aches 

• Bone pain 

• Watery eyes 

• Nasal discharge 

• Persistent headaches 

• Severe stomach cramping 

• Nausea, vomiting, and upset stomach 

• Heavy sweating 

• Labored breathing 

• Fluctuations in body temperature 

• Elevated heart rate 

• Sleep disturbances 

• Shaking and tremors 

• Seizures 

Psychological symptoms of withdrawal can include: 

• Intense cravings for the substance 

• Unpredictable mood changes 

• Restlessness and irritability 

• Heightened anxiety 

• Episodes of depression or overwhelming sadness 

• Mental fog and disorientation 

• Paranoid thoughts 

• Sensory hallucinations 

• Delusions  

Attempting to quit using substances without professional support can feel impossible. The knowledge that using again would provide immediate relief from the distress of withdrawal symptoms often causes people to go back to substance use. 

In our detox program, patients don’t have access to the substances they’re trying to stop using. Instead, they’re in a safe, supportive environment where experienced professionals monitor their health and manage their discomfort throughout the process. 

Care in our detox program is available for people who meet the following criteria: 

• Age 18 and older 

• Suffering from an active addiction to drugs or alcohol 

• At risk for experiencing significant withdrawal symptoms if substance use ends 

We evaluate admissions requests individually, carefully reviewing each person’s history and specific needs to determine if our detox program in North Port, Florida, is right for them.  

Patients in our detox program receive care in a comfortable, closely monitored setting where safety is prioritized. Patients benefit from 24/7 care that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of skilled, compassionate professionals, including nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and medical doctors. 

While in detox, patients have access to the following services: 

• Medication management services: Patients can meet with a psychiatrist daily for medication management services while receiving care in our detox program.  

• Individual therapy: One-on-one, confidential sessions with a clinician are available for patients in our detox program. 

• Family therapy: Clinicians at our Florida hospital offer family therapy on an as-needed or as-requested basis. 

• Group therapy: Patients take part in group therapy daily while in our detox program. We offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), 12-Step, process, and psychoeducation groups. While in these group therapy sessions, patients have the opportunity to talk about a variety of topics, including abstinence, coping skills, and motivational progress. 

• Experiential therapies: Daily experiential therapies are offered in our detox program, including music, art, and recreational therapies. 

At our North Port, Florida, hospital, we have the ability to prescribe medications that help reduce cravings and ease certain withdrawal symptoms. Medications that are available to those in our program include Subutex, methadone, and Suboxone®.  

Choosing to participate in the detox program at our North Port, Florida, hospital offers many benefits:  

Safety and protection: Active addiction puts people at constant risk for harm. The moment a person enters our detox program, they are in a secure environment where their health and well-being become our top priorities. Throughout their stay, experienced professionals monitor their progress and ensure their safety. 

Building confidence: Untreated addiction can deteriorate a person’s self-esteem and sense of self-worth. By successfully completing detox, patients meet a significant milestone that helps them see that they are capable of achieving difficult goals. This accomplishment can fuel their motivation as they face future recovery challenges, helping them develop a success-oriented mindset that serves them throughout their recovery journey. 

Physical and mental health improvements: When someone stops using drugs or alcohol, their health instantly begins improving. Our detox program provides the foundation patients need to regain their strength, stamina, and mental clarity.  

Finding support and understanding: Addiction creates isolation, severing connections with friends, family, and other important support systems. It may convince people that no one understands their struggles or cares enough to help. Our detox program breaks through this isolation. Patients work with compassionate professionals who genuinely care about their recovery. Through group therapy, patients also get to connect with others who are working toward similar goals, discovering the powerful healing that happens in community. 

Recovery begins with a single decision. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use and is ready to break free from addiction, our detox program can provide the safe, supportive start you need. 

To schedule an assessment, call our admissions team, have your provider send a referral, or walk in anytime, 24/7. We’re here to help you begin your journey toward lasting recovery.
