Inpatient Rehab and Detox in Venice, Florida

Venice Drug & Alcohol Rehab, Detox & Treatment Resources

Florida is in the middle of an opioid epidemic. In 2015, the drugs heroin, fentanyl and oxycodone were responsible for the deaths of 3,896 Floridians. These are all opioids, a class of highly addictive drugs used to control pain. Some opioids, like heroin, are illegal. Others, like oxycodone, can only be obtained with a prescription.

It’s not just Florida. Nationwide, people struggle with addiction to opioids and other drugs. Fortunately, there are many resources available for people who need help overcoming their addiction.

Drug dependence is treatable with the right resources. It is not something that can usually be done alone. This is especially important with opioid addiction. Going off of opioids cold-turkey can land you in the hospital or even a graveyard.

If you are seeking addiction treatment in Venice, Florida, there are several treatment options available to you. You can learn about the different resources you can use to fight your problem and conquer it.

Venice, Florida Alcohol Rehab Centers and Drug Rehab Centers

Having an addiction to drugs is hard. Recovery is also hard. Both physical and mental issues need to be controlled and addressed. Some recovering addicts even require spiritual support. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities are the best way to start on the path for a full recovery. They can provide medication, detox services, counseling, peer support, psychological analysis and much more.

Residential Treatment Programs

For those with a long-term problem, a residential program is best. Residential treatment programs can be as little as two weeks to as long as several years. Most stays are between 30-90 days. Doctors and nurses in these programs will watch you full-time to help you combat any medical issues which come up while detoxing.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

This kind of program, also identified by the acronym PHP, is aimed at patients with less-severe symptoms or who have already gone through a residential treatment program. Patients go in for a few hours every day for treatment similar to a residential treatment program. For people who have work or family obligations, this is an alternative to full residential treatment.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

For people who don’t need full-time medical care, an outpatient program can monitor problems on an as-needed basis. Outpatient programs usually mark the transition from addiction to normal life in a support group.

It is best to go with a familiar, nationally recognized treatment center to deal with the treatment of addiction, whether it’s a Florida rehab center or a facility in another state. At the Recovery Village, we have options for all three types of programs, depending on your level of need. We invite you to explore what we can offer.

Detox Centers

The purpose of a detox center is to manage the side effects of going off of a drug. A detox phase may be necessary in some cases, but it is only the beginning of full recovery. Consider them the ICU of drug misuse treatment. Most detox centers are not full rehabilitation centers. They may have some counseling services, but they’re not geared toward mental health or ongoing therapy.

If your loved one gets sent to the ER due to their drug problem, they may get sent to a detox center to recover from the episode. If this happens, ask them what other treatment options they provide for post-detox recovery. It may be best to transfer to a full rehabilitation center after your detox is complete to get the best chance of overcoming the problem.

Detox centers are medical facilities where psychological or emotional needs are not as important as treating the addiction or withdrawal episode. If your symptoms are mild or non-existent, consider an outpatient rehab program or a recovery meeting.

Recovery Meetings Near You

Detox centers and inpatient rehabilitation facilities are just the first steps on the road to recovery. The next step is attending a local recovery meeting. Recovery meetings provide ongoing support after your rehab stay so you can become completely sober.

By using peer support and positive reinforcement, members of these free meetings gain the strength they need to overcome their addiction and help others who are still struggling. Regardless of where you completed alcohol treatment, Venice’s AA meetings can help you stay on the right path.

For some patients, choosing a facility that is nearby rather than where they live is the better option when seeking treatment. By going to a nearby city, patients can eliminate distractions and triggers that can cause them to relapse. A residential setting away from home allows patients to focus just on their recovery. Some patients do better in settings where friends and family can come visit, so a nearby center may be the best choice if friends and family are supportive. Also, for those seeking alcohol or drug rehab in Venice, Florida, considering nearby cities may be helpful.
