Summary:

Detox is the first essential step in overcoming alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or any substance use disorder, as it allows the body to eliminate harmful substances and prepare for recovery. Because withdrawal symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe medical risks, professional medical detox is strongly recommended for safety and comfort. At Tikvah Lake Recovery, clients are connected with trusted detox centers in Florida before beginning luxury residential treatment in a serene lakeside setting. Once detox is complete, individuals can continue their recovery journey through inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, or specialized care such as dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders. Tikvah Lake offers highly personalized treatment plans, evidence-based therapies, holistic wellness programs, relapse prevention strategies, and a supportive executive concierge team—all in a private, six-client facility. With this individualized approach, Tikvah Lake helps clients and their loved ones heal both body and mind while building a foundation for long-term recovery.

Finding Florida Drug and Alcohol Detox Through Tikvah Lake Recovery

Breaking free from alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or any substance use disorder begins with one crucial first step: detoxification. Detox is the process of safely clearing substances from the body so that recovery can begin. While this phase can be challenging—often involving uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms—it is also a powerful turning point in your journey toward lasting sobriety.

At Tikvah Lake Recovery, we believe in the philosophy: heal the body, then heal the mind. Although our Florida treatment center does not provide on-site medical detox, we partner with trusted and accredited detox centers nearby to ensure our clients have access to high-quality, evidence-based medical care before entering our luxury residential program. Whether you or a loved one are seeking a fresh start, our team is here to help guide you toward the best treatment options for your unique needs.

What is Detox?

Detoxification (or detox) refers to the period when an individual stops using alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, prescription drugs, or other substances and allows the body to naturally eliminate them. Because the body has developed dependence, this process can trigger withdrawal symptoms that range from mild discomfort to severe medical complications.

Common Withdrawal Symptoms by Substance:

• Alcohol detox: Anxiety, insomnia, sweating, headaches, vomiting, hallucinations, and in severe cases, seizures.
• Opioid detox: Runny nose, watery eyes, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and agitation.
• Heroin detox: Muscle aches, chills, nausea, sweating, and intense cravings.
• Meth detox: Fatigue, depression, paranoia, dry mouth, headaches, and psychosis.
• Marijuana detox: Mood swings, irritability, headaches, sweating, and appetite loss.
• Benzodiazepine detox: Anxiety, tremors, irritability, and in some cases, seizures or life-threatening symptoms.

Because of the potential severity of these symptoms, it’s highly recommended that individuals seek medical detox under the supervision of healthcare professionals. This ensures safety, comfort, and a smoother transition into the next stage of addiction treatment.

How Long Does It Take to Detox?

The length of the detox process depends on many factors, such as the type of substance and the severity of the addiction. For a general idea, the average length of time it takes to detox from the following substances is:

• Alcohol: Generally 5-7 days
• Heroin: Generally 5-7 days
• Marijuana: While physical symptoms generally resolve within a few days, feelings of depression and cravings may persist for 2-3 weeks
• Meth: Most physical symptoms begin to resolve after a week, while psychological symptoms such as cravings, fatigue, and mood swings may last for weeks
• Opioids: This will depend on the type of opioid used. For some opioids, detox can last up to two weeks

Once detox is complete, clients are ready to transition into the next level of care—whether inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), or outpatient treatment.

What’s the Next Step after Detox?

After completing detox, clients can continue their addiction recovery journey with an inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment program. The level of care needed will depend on each individual’s unique circumstances or needs. For those seeking a residential treatment program, Tikvah Lake stands ready to help you continue on your path toward healing. Our luxury residential program allows clients to step away from the world and truly focus on their recovery. Clients work toward healing through various treatment modalities aimed to help them continue the progress they made in detox and to prepare them for a lifetime of sustained recovery. 

Our residential treatment center offers programs such as:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy: This evidence-based therapy helps clients identify harmful patterns of thinking and learn new ways to identify and challenge these negative thoughts. Equipped with this knowledge, clients can move forward to create a happier, healthier life. This goal-oriented approach to therapy has been found to be effective in treating substance use disorders.
• Holistic wellness program: Our holistic rehab in Florida takes a whole-person approach to residential addiction treatment by incorporating holistic techniques into our care. We invite clients to participate in yoga, energy work, and meditation practices to promote mindfulness in healing, and we focus on nutrition in our programs to help restore clients’ health.
• Relapse prevention program and aftercare programs: Our residential treatment program seeks to set clients up for success for the rest of their lives. We want to empower our clients to live a fulfilling life in recovery, and to do so, we provide personalized aftercare planning to help them take the next step. We also incorporate relapse prevention strategies in our programming to help clients feel secure in their recovery when leaving our treatment center.

After completing detox, you’ll be ready to move on to the next step in your recovery journey. You can count on Tikvah Lake’s residential treatment program to help you continue to progress and work toward changing your life for the better.
