1. Scientific Diagnosis: True Cause of Addiction - Most treatment centers will simply diagnose you "drug addict" or "alcoholic." We will accurately diagnose the "underlying cause" of your addiction.

2. Lowest Risk of Relapse - Most detox centers offer a maximum of one month treatment. At Florida Detox you will receive medical management for three months after your detoxification process. This herbal/medical treatment will stop drug/alcohol craving in 90 percent of our patients.  

3. Less Fear - Fear of painful detox prevents many addicted patients from seeking treatment. Our detox protocols for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opiate pain medication utilize intravenous sedatives and anesthetic medications in our safe hospital based detox unit. This more sophisticated approach yields fairly painless technique.   

4. More Convenient - Patients and their families prefer our accelerated detox program because absence from family and work is greatly diminished compared to standardized 28 day programs. Patients normally spend one week in Florida for completion of detox and then follow up counseling and medication management continues for the next three months.  

5. Safety - Florida Detox provides the safest medical detox in America.  (see "safety" page)

6. Cost Effective - The cost of treatment at Florida Detox is approximately half the cost of most 28 day treatment centers. Because Florida Detox has developed an accelerated detoxification method for alcohol, xanax, and opiate addicted  patients, they spend only one week, not four weeks away from work, minimizing lost wages.
