All medical facilities supporting the Florida Detox program must adhere to ASA standards for anesthesia practice and must have a demonstrated commitment to quality care. Naltrexone is an opioid blocking medication. It is FDA approved for both opioid and alcohol addiction. The Florida Detox treatment program prescribes Naltrexone to all patients after they are detoxified. Patients are asleep under general anesthesia and so feel nothing, nor do they have any recollection of their withdrawal once they are awake.
Most patients feel groggy and experience only mild discomfort after detoxification.
Florida Detox medical staff is trained to ensure patient comfort before, and after the rapid detoxification procedure phase of the treatment. Florida Detox is the only RAAD practice in the United States operated by board certified anesthesiologists with pain management credentials who are sensitive to addiction and pain issues. Prospective patients are thoroughly screened both medically and physiologically prior to admittance into the Florida Detox program. Aftercare is a mandatory component of the Florida Detox program and is custom-designed to meet the individual needs of each patient. Florida Detox combines psychological evaluation and treatment with the rapid detoxification technique.
