The Benefits Of Outpatient Detox Treatment Fort Lauderdale

By Timothy Richardson


Thousands of people in the United States and across the world will use outpatient drug treatment this year. It is an effective method for treating addictions to drugs and alcohol that has been used for decades. People in search of these programs will find them in outpatient detox Treatment Fort Lauderdale, with some programs being fairly well known within the world of recovery.

Seeking drug and/or alcohol detox treatment from a licensed and accredited facility could be the difference between successfully completing recovery or leaving before the process is complete and possibly returning to substance use. A fully accredited and licensed rehabilitation center can offer medical rehab which uses specially formulated medications throughout the process to ensure that the chemical toxins are removed from the body via a method that is safe and effective and keeps the patient comfortable throughout the process.

Depending on the results of the evaluation, some people will begin treatment in only a few days, while others will need a couple of weeks to safely detox before heading on to rehab. Most medical rehab facilities will work together with long-term treatment centers that a patient will transfer to once they are past the worst of their withdrawal symptoms and can do so safely.

One of the problems with this method of rehab is that the practice is still fairly new, and no one knows just how well it will work long-term, and before beginning this kind of recovery, any addict wishing to take steps to undergo this fast-paced rehab should talk about their options with their primary doctor before searching out a rehab specialist.

Being hospitalized during rehab is not the same as being in recovery, although it can and is part of many recovery centers' initial therapy. Many people are hospitalized for only two to three days to complete the initial rehab recovery and then go on to other programs or simply return home to receive therapy on an outpatient setting or to recover on their own. While in rehab, a social welfare or alcohol rehabilitation specialist will generally visit the patient to discuss therapeutic options that are available.

Skill building activities are used to increase the person's ability to handle stresses (which can often trigger the person to turn to addiction), interpersonal skills, emotional regulation and more. These modules have been proven effective in dealing all kinds of addictions, including drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Patients for whom inpatient recovery options have not been successful find success using this method.

Rapid detox is a specialized medical procedure in which a patient is put under general anesthesia so that they remain unconscious while their body goes through all the severe withdrawal symptoms. To do this, the patient will be put into a medically-induced coma, where they will then be given a series of medications that will help to speed up the acute withdrawal process.

There cannot be enough said for doing your own research. It is your health, your life (or your loved ones) and ultimately you are the one who is going to have to decide if the recovery facility is the right one for you. Choosing the wrong drug and alcohol recovery center can result in not completing the process, and it can hinder recovery, quite possibly resulting in a return to substance use.
