Inpatient Rehab and Detox in Sanford, Florida

Sanford Drug & Alcohol Rehab, Detox & Treatment Resources

The state of Florida is facing a drug and alcohol abuse problem of epic proportions. Even the smaller city of Sanford in central Florida (population 55,000) is doing what it can to stifle the flow of drugs into its community. The Washington Post reported that one pharmacy in Sanford purchased 5.8 million oxycodone pills over the course of four years — 20 times more than the average pharmacy.

Heroin and other opioids are also a big problem here, but the city recognizes that cutting off the supply isn’t enough; that more focus should be placed on saving lives and families devastated by drug and alcohol abuse. One solution is equipping law enforcement officers with naloxone (a life-saving medication that instantly reverses the effects of heroin to prevent a death by overdose). Naloxone was previously only carried by EMT’s. Florida has now introduced legislation that would make naloxone available to the public.

Another solution Sanford offers in the saving of lives is by providing treatment via detox, inpatient, outpatient, medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment and aftercare.

Sanford, Florida Alcohol Rehab Centers and Drug Rehab Centers

Sanford residents suffering from heroin or opioid addiction have several recovery options available to them. These resources include detox, inpatient services, outpatient services, and MAT or a combination of these.

If you’re seeking a drug rehab center in Sanford, FL, or an alcohol rehab center in Sanford, FL, there are 49 drug and alcohol treatment facilities within 25 miles. Although so many in the area exist, choosing to recover in another city under the care of a national brand may be the best decision, and for a variety of reasons. Privacy is a great concern for some individuals wishing to recover. Some individuals feel deep shame and choose to rehabilitate out of town. Another reason to receive treatment in another city is the nature and quality of services, since a branded treatment center can offer services that a smaller one can’t.

Residential Treatment Programs

Residential treatment is a treatment designed to help those suffering from a long-term addiction. Residential is ideal for those who have relapsed more than once or for those dependent on opioids. In residential treatment, a recovering individual stays at the center until treatment is complete and receives a full range of medical, psychological and supportive care. Length of recovery in a residential treatment facility can vary from weeks, months or up to a year or longer. Duration is determined on a case-by-case basis. Some individuals are court-ordered to a residential treatment center, and others select this form of treatment on their own. Some join residential treatment with the encouragement of family, friends, or loved ones.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

Partial hospitalization provides brief hospitalization, and can last from two to four weeks, depending on the individual’s needs. Individual and group therapy are components of the recovery case plan, as is aftercare or follow-up, usually in the form of support groups.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient treatment is for individuals with an addiction that isn’t as serious as it is not as intensive as residential treatment or partial hospitalization. In outpatient, the client travels to the facility for 10-15 hours per week, which provides flexibility for the client’s work, education, family, legal matters or other important obligations. The duration of outpatient treatment can last from three to six months or sometimes up to twelve months or more. Outpatient treatment can include detox, 12-step programs, group therapy, individual or family therapy and aftercare services.

Choosing the ideal method of recovery for you can be confusing, but help is only a phone call away. The Recovery Village is a treatment facility that offers comprehensive services, including detox, inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, MAT and aftercare.

Detox Centers

Detox is the first step you will take in your journey of recovery, and the most important, as it rids your body of the initial poisons of drugs. This process can last one or two weeks. In the majority of cases, if detox is disrupted due to relapse, the recovery process must begin again with detox. Detox can be dangerous without medical supervision. Doctors and other medical staff are a necessary part of this process.

Detox is only the first step in the process, though. It is important that you also begin all of the psychological and emotional work around your substance use disorder. While a detox center can be helpful, it is advisable to find a facility that will offer both detox and a treatment program.
