Inpatient Rehab and Detox in Ponte Vedra, Florida

Compared to other states, Florida has been deeply affected by the deadly opioid crisis that is currently affecting millions of Americans. Doctors in Florida, as of the year 2017, wrote over 60 opioid prescriptions for every 100 persons in the state.

Making highly addictive opioid drugs so available has led to Americans becoming physically dependent on the drugs. Even if you begin taking prescription pain pills according to your doctor, or if you start drinking to alleviate your social anxiety, using substances regularly can easily result in dependence and addiction.

If you think that you or a loved one are struggling with addiction to alcohol or drugs, there is hope. There are many resources and facilities that can help you or your loved one get the help you need in the state of Florida and close to Ponte Vedra.

Drug and Alcohol Detox Programs and Treatment Centers in Ponte Vedra, FL

Knowing what your needs are is the first step in choosing a rehab center. There are different drug and alcohol treatment options that can meet your specific needs and circumstances, starting with medical detox. Detox clears the body of drugs and alcohol.

Some patients might require starting with an inpatient detox followed by a long residential stay, while others might begin with an outpatient detox before moving on to outpatient treatment.

Learning about the different treatment options and facilities in your local area can help you decide which program is the right one for you. If traveling for treatment is the best option for you, The Recovery Village Umatilla and Orlando Recovery Center offer comprehensive detox programs.

Residential Treatment Programs

Inpatient alcohol rehab or residential drug addiction treatment programs offer intensive treatment for patients who live at the facility during treatment. Inpatient rehab programs offer structure and allow patients to fully focus on their recovery away from distraction. The length of the programs vary depending on the needs of the patient and the program itself. Most programs usually last between a few weeks to several months or even longer.

Patients should expect to take part in a variety of activities such as group meetings, classes and different therapies, like meditation or mindfulness workshops. You and the counselor will have a discussion to decide which type of program and activities are the best for you.

Currently, there are no residential treatment programs in Ponte Vedra. Fortunately, there are many options nearby in Jacksonville, including:

Partial Hospitalization Programs

Unlike residential treatment or inpatient treatment programs, partial hospitalization programs only offer treatment during the day. If you decide to attend a partial hospitalization program, you will go home or to a sober living house in the evenings after concluding day-time treatment. Even though you will not stay overnight at the treatment facility in most cases, partial hospitalization programs still have a daily structure and provide intensive treatment.

Currently, there are not any partial hospitalization programs in Ponte Vedra or in the larger Jacksonville area. However, there are options throughout the state of Florida. The Recovery Village Umatilla and Orlando Recovery Center offer partial hospitalization in the Central Florida area.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient alcohol treatment programs or outpatient drug treatment programs are similar to partial hospitalization programs in that they also allow patients to go home in the evenings. If you have a strong support network at home and do not need to leave your environment to be free of distraction, an outpatient program might work well for you. On the other hand, an outpatient drug treatment is not the best option for individuals who might be distracted or hindered by their home environment, family or friends.

Even if you start with a residential treatment program, you may still attend an outpatient program. Some move on to an outpatient treatment program after completing inpatient rehab, making it a step on their path to recovery rather than a starting point. Figuring out the best first step for you is part of the process.

Currently, the closest facility to Ponte Vedra that offers outpatient care is located in Jacksonville.

Sober Living and Rehab Aftercare Programs in Ponte Vedra, FL

Sober living homes and alcohol and drug rehab aftercare programs could be invaluable resources for you as you start your sober life.

Sober living homes and aftercare facilities can help support you as you make the transition from treatment to recovery outside of rehab. Rehab aftercare is a term that covers many different types of services and activities, such as:

  • Attending 12-step meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or SMART Recovery
  • Alumni programs
  • Counseling
  • Volunteer activities geared toward sobriety
  • Follow-up medical appointments
  • Aftercare planning from a rehab center
  • Maintenance medication plans

What Is the Process Like in a Drug Detox and Rehab Facility?

Learning more about the process of rehab and detox can help you feel confident as you chart your path. The process may vary slightly from one facility to another, but the standard order is usually admissions, detox and then transitioning to further treatment.

During admissions, patients will meet with staff and provide information through an intake assessment. Staff will learn about the patient’s drug use, physical and mental health history in order to work together to create an effective treatment plan.

After admissions, most patients enter into a detox program to rid the body of alcohol and drugs in a medically monitored facility. Going cold turkey can be dangerous and withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Detox is intended to help patients cleanse their bodies in a safe manner.

After detox, patients can transition to treatment that will help them to better understand addiction and learn the tools and techniques that will help them maintain sobriety.

Choosing a rehab center and making the commitment to enroll is a very important, serious decision. At this point, you might be feeling completely overwhelmed at all of the options and be unsure what to do next. If this is the case, the very next step is to speak to one of the many counselors and treatment professionals in the Jacksonville area. A representative can help give you more information and guide you through the drug treatment process.

Finding the Best Rehab Program For You

Assessing which center is the best drug rehab center can be difficult. Which facility you ultimately choose should depend on your specific needs and circumstances. That said, there are some universal standards that you should look for. The best rehab centers are always licensed and accredited and have clear standards that guide their practices.

As you are learning about how to find the best rehab center, there are a variety of questions you can ask each facility to help you to decide whether or not it is the best choice.

What Questions Should You Ask When Considering a Treatment Program?

Some of the questions you might want to ask as you consider different treatment programs are:

What type of licensing and accreditation does your facility have?
There are different accreditations, including the Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) that set up processes for rehab centers to become accredited. Choosing an accredited rehab center can help to make sure that you get the high level of treatment that you deserve.

Is there a full-time medical staff?
Using drugs or alcohol in large doses or over a long period of time takes a toll on the body. Patients who go to a treatment center need medical care. Check to make sure that there are medical professionals on-site at the facility who can monitor and treat you or your loved one.

What are the types of treatment services and programs offered?
This question will help you get a preview of the different programs and services that are offered. Every patient has specific needs and you will want to learn about the offering of each center so that you can choose one that can serve you.

What’s your treatment approach for the programs at your facility?
Every center has a slightly different treatment approach. Some types of treatment approaches may work better for you than others.

Does the program include nutrition and other components of health and wellness?
Since addiction affects every area of your health, treatment plans should work to help you heal and get stronger physically, mentally and even spiritually for some. Health and wellness are an essential part of treatment.

What is aftercare planning like once a patient completes detox and rehabilitation?
Recovery is a lifelong process that requires daily maintenance and strong commitment. Before you leave a rehab center, you should have the opportunity to meet with a counselor and create an aftercare strategy.

Is insurance accepted, and if so, what type of coordination do you offer in using insurance?
Many rehab programs take private insurance and work with self-pay patients to make treatment affordable and possible.
