Detox of South Florida believes that detoxification involves much more than simply medically withdrawing a patient from alcohol or other drugs.
Detox of South Florida provides 24-hour supervision, observation, and support for patients who are intoxicated or experiencing withdrawals. The primary emphasis is placed on ensuring that the patients are medically stable (including the initiation and tapering of medications used for the treatment of substance use withdrawal); assessing for adequate bio-psychosocial stability, quickly intervening to establish this adequately; and facilitating effective linkage to and engagement in other appropriate inpatient and outpatient services.
At this level of care, physicians are available 24 hours per day by phone 7 days a week. A physician is available to provide on-site monitoring of care and further evaluation on a daily basis. An RN or other qualified nursing specialists are present to administer an initial assessment upon admission. The Nurses are responsible for overseeing the monitoring of the patient’s progress and medication administration on an hourly basis, if needed.
