Detox Centers of America LLC

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Fort Lauderdale has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and 2 of the 8 centers near Fort Lauderdale offer one at all.

They prescribe 2 medications: buprenorphine and naltrexone. What a provider actually stocks changes, so ask for the one you need by name before driving to Fort Lauderdale.

They treat pregnant and postpartum clients. Ask whether prenatal care is on site or coordinated with somewhere else in Fort Lauderdale.

They treat older adults, along with adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25, which is a wider range than most places listed near Fort Lauderdale cover.

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Where a workplace runs an assistance program it usually sits outside the management chain and keeps what it is told. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
