Dr. Rick Sponaugle, Medical Director of Florida Detox® will eliminate psychological craving by accurately diagnosing and effectively treating your anxiety, depression, insomnia, post traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit disorders and hormonal imbalances. These imbalances usually drive opiate dependency for addictive drugs like Vicodin. Neurotransmitter and hormone testing have proven and enhanced our highly accurate diagnosis, of disorders driving addiction. Florida Detox® opiate drug treatment, is for all opiates such as Vicodin, Lortab, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Percocet and Ultram, and includes effective follow-up addiction rehabilitation treatments for three months.

Naltrexone

Florida Detox® does not use Naltrexone implants. Naltrexone implants at some centers have caused infection, producing scarring and cellulitis. Florida Detox® uses Naltrexone, after anesthesia, to prevent opiates from reattaching to the opiate receptor, while the liver finishes metabolizing or breaking the opiates down. We have not found it necessary to continue Naltrexone, more than 2 to 4 weeks, in most cases. Although Naltrexone can prevent physical craving for opiates, it does not eliminate psychological craving.
