Coastal Detox drug and alcohol detox facility in Stuart, Florida

Suffer From Drug Addiction?

What Can You Expect In A South Florida Drug Detox Program?

Our Florida drug detox program helps you comfortably detox from drugs and alcohol. Attempting to detox on your own is highly unpleasant and, in many cases, unsafe.

Going to a drug detox center ensures that you will be safe while detoxing from drugs and alcohol. You will also receive the addiction treatment support you need to begin a lasting recovery.

The Basics

What is Drug Detox?

A drug or alcohol detox is the process of expelling unwanted and addictive substances from the body. What makes detox at a rehab center so important is that a team of professionals will safely manage withdrawal symptoms for optimal comfort and safety.

Our Process

The Drug Detox Process

Since each individual will require different detox needs, the process and experience will vary. However, it can be outlined in three basic steps.

STEP 1

Comprehensive Evaluation

Medical staff screen patients for physical and mental health factors through extensive medical and psychiatric review. Blood tests determine the precise amount of substances in your system to inform the best detox methods and medications.

STEP 2

Stabilization of the Patient

Professionals use therapy, including medication and individual psychotherapy, to calm and stabilize the patient. Medication therapy is vital in minimizing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.

STEP 3

Preparation for Treatment

This last step prepares you for what to expect in an addiction treatment program — the next critical layer that determines long-term success in recovery. Detox is only the first step in a rehab program.

Recognizing drug dependence and drug-seeking behaviors

Medical Detox

What Is Medical Detox?

The National Institute on Drug Abuse defines medical detox as a process that safely manages the symptoms of withdrawal a person experiences when they stop using drugs and/or alcohol. It’s an evidence-based addiction treatment that helps rid the body of substance dependence.

Medical detox is essential — it helps prevent serious complications like seizures, delirium tremens, coma, or death. A medically monitored environment will curb the most common side effects and prevent the more severe ones.

Investment

How Much Does A Drug Detox Cost?

A South Florida detox program costs several hundred dollars per day. Surprisingly, this cost is comparable to less desirable locations that might offer a different quality of care. South Florida detox programs are ranked among the best, and the staff is highly experienced and well-trained in a holistic medical approach.

Outpatient vs. Residential

Outpatient detox ranges from $1,000 – $2,000. Residential detox costs more — patients stay overnight for 24/7 monitoring, meals, and amenities, and generally detox for a longer period.

Facility & Amenities

Coastal Detox provides holistic, cutting-edge treatments, comfortable living quarters, and chef-prepared, nutritionist-designed meals in an empathetic, uplifting atmosphere that supports your healing.

Insurance

Does My Insurance Cover Detox?

Most insurance providers will cover most, if not all, of the cost. Some policies cover 100% but require a copay, anywhere from $50 to $300 per day. Coastal Detox will help you with the entire insurance verification process.

Thanks to updated healthcare laws, addiction treatment is now considered an essential health benefit that commercial health plans must cover. Most insurance companies have specific qualifications — our medical team is happy to help you understand your policy. Coastal Detox works with most major insurance providers.

Drug Detox At Home

Often referred to as quitting “cold turkey,” attempting a drug detox at home is never advised. If you or a loved one has an addiction, speaking with a treatment facility is necessary to determine what would work best for you.

Those suffering from severe addiction will need to consider residential treatment plans following medical care at a detox facility. We also offer outpatient detox and dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring conditions. Severe addictions carry the greatest risk for dangerous detox complications — 24/7 care is essential for prevention and recovery.

By Substance

Drug And Alcohol Detox By Addiction Type

The substance of addiction is a significant factor when considering what to expect during drug detox. Explore the detox programs offered at Coastal Detox.

An opiate is a structurally similar drug — and comparable in its effects — to opium, derived from the opium poppy. Our history with opium dates back roughly 7,000 years. In modern times, aggressive pharmaceutical marketing led to widespread opiate prescriptions, setting the stage for today’s opiate epidemic. Coastal Detox offers a dedicated opiate detox program, including heroin and fentanyl detox. Medically supervised detox eliminates harsher withdrawal symptoms and keeps you comfortable through the process.

Depressants include alcohol, benzodiazepines, opiates, and sleeping medications. All depressants slow the central nervous system — causing drowsiness, lack of coordination, and respiratory depression. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can include seizures and delirium tremens, which is why detoxing in a professional facility is essential.

Stimulants trigger surges in energy, wakefulness, and alertness — but also impulsivity and poor judgment. Repeated use creates a neurochemical deficit when stimulants are unavailable. Withdrawal can include fatigue, paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations, and severe depression. Professional detox is essential for managing these symptoms safely.

Hallucinogens significantly alter cognitive processes and perceptions of reality — producing visual or auditory hallucinations and often dissociative, out-of-body experiences. Anyone with a significant history of abusing hallucinogens should seek medical guidance for a safe, comfortable detox.
