Detox & Rehab Options Madeira Beach, Florida
As someone progresses through their process of beginning and maintaining recovery long term, they will be exposed to various levels of care in which differing levels of intensity.
Intervention
During this phase of the treatment process, loved ones are able to express their growing concern for the person they care about with the goal of allowing them to see and understand the scope and impact of their lifestyle patterns if they continue to use. This is a structured event usually coordinated by a therapist or counselor trained for this purpose.
Detox
Detox is the medically monitored process in which someone who has been using substances will begin to overcome physical dependency of their substance of choice. Though this process varies greatly, when conducted by appropriately trained medical staff, the safety risks are minimized and the recovery process can continue to a more long term level of care.
Residential & Inpatient
Residential or inpatient treatment takes place in a specially designed facility in which you will be able to live and take part in the treatment process 24 hours a day. Daily activities include groups, meetings, and one-on-one sessions with your primary counselor. This process typically lasts between 21 to 90 days but can include long term residential treatment facilities lasting over 1 year if needed.
Outpatient
This term encompasses three major categories of treatment that share the common theme of not living at a facility full time. These include:
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) — Similar to residential treatment, PHP programs consist of groups, classes, and regular sessions with your primary counselor or therapist. Though they are typically 5 or 6 days each week, participants are able to return to their homes in the evening and return the next day.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Similar to PHP programs, participants will not live at the facility throughout their treatment. Intensive Outpatient Programs, however, are less intensive typically lasting 3 hours each day and meeting 3 or 4 days each week.
- Outpatient Program (OP) — An even less intensive option, but a great tool is the Outpatient program. This consists of meeting once a week or less to process and discuss with a clinician and others new to a life of recovery.
MAT & Suboxone
Medication Assisted Treatment (11) is a method of treating each individual with a medication component alongside their counseling, group engagement, and meeting attendance. It can include the prescription of substances such as Suboxone, methadone, and naltrexone. This treatment is used primarily in the treatment of opiate use disorders and can provide additional care to someone beginning their journey of recovery.
Substance Use Disorder Program Costs in Madeira Beach, Florida
Concerns over how the cost of treatment will be covered can often be a determining factor in choosing a treatment facility. The methods in which facilities are funded include:
- Private/Privately Funded — These treatment options are for those who either have private insurance or have the ability to pay out of pocket for a high quality of care. Private treatment facilities usually have lower client to staff ratios meaning programs catered more specifically to each client. They generally have the ability to take a new client with little or no wait time.
- Public & State-Funded Programs — These programs offer a great alternative for individuals who are unable to meet the financial requirements of private facilities or have no form of insurance. Though they can provide quality treatment, they can often have higher client to staff ratios as well as wait times to begin treatment.
- Insurance Based — These programs are a great option for those seeking a high quality of care. Most private facilities will accept many private insurances that will cover the cost of treatment. Intake coordinators at each facility will be able to give a detailed explanation as well as let you know if your insurance qualifies.
- Free & Medicaid or Medicare — Similar to public and state funded programs, these programs can be cost efficient, but are often limited in their availability and can have less staff available for each client.
