Patients don't hesitate to return for their post detoxification visits because they can enjoy the beaches and see their doctor at the same time.

Your first week in Florida is focused on your inpatient alcohol/drug detoxification. You will most likely fly home and return to work and family at the end of the first week.
 

As detox is only the first step toward your recovery from drug addiction or alcoholism, we offer, at no additional cost, a comprehensive outpatient follow up program. Because our patients realize that our doctors are pioneers who provide a level of brain science/addiction medicine that is not available anywhere in the United States, they do return from Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta for essential follow up.  

Intelligent patients know that detox without thorough scientific analysis and treatment of biochemical craving is a waste of time and money. Intelligent patients also know that they can not simply stop craving with "talk therapy" back home. They are relieved to be able to work on an outpatient basis even flying in for the day rather than being imprisoned for an arbitrary 28 days of their life in a far off compound where the important addiction science is ignored. 

During the three months following your detox you will receive on going brain chemistry analysis, hormonal analysis and  when applicable intense diagnostic workup for enviromental toxicity, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, insomnia  and migraine syndrome. You will receive treatment including:

Medications to treat drug/alcohol craving:

The brain chemistry you have inherited is not bad, but it has predisposed you to "really like" the effect of pain pills or alcohol. You will continue to relapse after your detox if your craving is not addressed. We must and will diagnose the specific chemistry of your brain. This effort normally requires a few visits back to our clinic following your detox. When we correctly raise or lower one/two of your natural brain neurotransmitters, your craving will stop!!! No more shame and guilt. Get excited to move forward, drug free, without a daily battle. 

Antiaging and Wellness:

Correcting hormonal imbalance is of tremendous importance when treating patients addicted to drugs or alcohol. yet other detox centers through the ignorance of their medical staff, totally ignore opiate and alcohol induced hormonal deficiencies.  The opiate pain pills like oxycontin and the benzodiazepine medications like Xanax along with alcohol decrease hormonal output of  the pituitary gland.  It is the pituitary that turns on the thyroid, ovaries, adrenal glands and testicular production of testosterone..

Before addicted patients come to Florida Detox, they suffer from low energy, chronic fatigue, depression and lack of sex drive.  Because our doctors are trained in anti-aging/wellness, we offer a higher level of service and a better quality of life to our detox patients.The majority of our detox patients feel ten years younger within four weeks of treatment. Our scientific hormonal replacement and natural wellness treatment protocols are not available at other addiction treatment centers. 

Dr. Sponaugle and his medical staff provide the most comprehensive brain chemistry analysis of any addiction treatment center in the nation. Florida Detox® is the undisputed leader regarding successful treatment of drug and alcohol craving. They will diagnose the true cause of your addiction and treat the biochemical cause of your craving.

While it is true that the Florida Detox® "rapid detox technique" has been featured  on more national television {DR.PHIL,CNN,FOX NEWS,ABC NEWS,NBC NEWS} than all the other rapid detox centers combined, the advantages of the rapid detox are not nearly as important as our in depth follow up program. The most important component of our program is our ability to scientifically stop the addiction cycle in your life.
