1. Scientific
Diagnosis - True Cause of Addiction - Most treatment centers
will simply diagnose patients as "drug addict" or
"alcoholic." At Florida Detox®, Dr. Rick Sponaugle will
accurately diagnose the "true cause" of your addiction.
2. Lowest Risk of
Relapse - Most detox centers offer a maximum of one month treatment. At
Florida Detox® medical management is provided for three
months after the detoxification process. This intense outpatient treatment, both
medical and herbal, will stop drug and alcohol craving in 90 percent of patients
treated by Dr. Rick Sponaugle.
3. Less
Fear Fear of painful withdrawal symptoms prevents many patients from
seeking addiction treatment. Dr. Rick Sponaugle has developed safe and painless
detox protocols for alcohol, benzodiazepines and opiate pain medication. We
utilize intravenous sedatives and medications in a safe hospital based detox unit.
This more sophisticated approach yields a safe and painless technique.
4. More Convenient
- Patients and their families prefer the accelerated detox program at
Florida Detox® because absence from family and work is greatly
diminished compared to standardized 28 day programs. Patients normally spend
one week in Florida for completion of detox and then follow up counseling and
medication management continues for the next three months.
5. Safety -
Florida Detox® provides the safest medical detox in America.
(see "safety"
page)
6. Cost Effective
- The cost of treatment at Florida Detox® is
approximately half the cost of most 28 day treatment centers. Due to the
development of the Florida Detox® accelerated detoxification
method for alcohol, Xanax, and opiates, addicted patients spend only one week
(not four weeks) away from work, minimizing lost wages.
