WHAT IS OUTPATIENT DETOX?
Outpatient detox (also called ambulatory detox) is a medical procedure designed to safely detox patients from drugs and alcohol without a hospital admission. Patients addicted to opiate prescription medications such as Oxycontin, Vicodin, Loratab, and others, as well as those addicted to illegal opiates such as heroin, may especially benefit from outpatient detox. In the last several years, the FDA has approved the use of medications such as Suboxone and Subutex (Buprenorphine) to assist in the withdrawal from opiates. These new detox treatments have greatly advanced the ability to detox in an outpatient setting.

How do I know if outpatient detox is for me?
To determine the appropriateness of outpatient detox, call us for an assessment. This involves talking to a counselor and nurse to gather medical and social history. Not everyone is appropriate for outpatient detox and some individuals may require a hospital facility. Determining factors are the quantity of drug or alcohol that one is using, the length of time, and in what combinations. Pre-existing medical conditions are also relevant to determine if outpatient detox is right for each individual patient.

You will receive personalized and private outpatient medical detox treatment from Dr. Victor Balta, MD to help your fight against common detox withdrawal symptoms. The success of your outpatient detoxification lies with an accurate assessment and we have over a thousand satisfied patients in the past 15 years.

Detox outpatient services doesn't mean forgotten patients or that your detox treatment is finished. Our outpatient alcohol detox, drug detox, opiate detox and our prescription pain medication detox program allow you to live freely without any reservations. In our outpatient detox center, counselors are available by phone 24/7. We also understand that you require your privacy. You may not be able to take the time from work to detoxify with an inpatient detox program. We work with your schedule to give you the best care possible.

For example, on Day One before your outpatient detox treatment starts, you will come into our outpatient detox facility for a complete medical and psychological history assessment and physical examination. To receive proper outpatient detoxification, your personal information must be as accurate as possible.

You will begin outpatient drug detox or alcohol detox on Day One. When you make your appointment, specific directions are given to you regarding when to stop your drug of use before coming to our South Florida drug and alcohol detox center.
