Detox & Rehab Options in Seminole, Florida 

Intervention

Intervention is the process of family members and loved ones communicating to the substance user moments in which their behaviors have been harmful and destructive. The focus is to aid the substance user in moving towards potential treatment options and recovery. At CuraSouth, we provide professional interventions with our trained interventionist. (12)

Medically Monitored Detox

Detoxification is the process of clearing all substances from the body of an individual who has become physically and psychologically dependent. Depending on the substance, the process of detox can be life threatening. For this reason, being admitted into a detox facility in order for medical providers to supervise the process is crucial. Medication may be administered during this process in order to decrease any negative symptoms that may be associated with it. 

Residential & Inpatient Treatment 

Residential and inpatient treatment provides clients with structured, full time care. Clients reside at residential and inpatient programs, providing them 24/7 access to care. Residential and inpatient programs provide clients with skills and techniques to develop and maintain recovery following discharge. During residential and inpatient treatment, clients engage in individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, recreational therapy, medication management, and educational and life skills classes.

Outpatient Treatment 

Outpatient treatment can be categorized by 3 different types. Outpatient treatment is less structured than residential and inpatient, and each one provides different levels of care and advantages.

  • Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — Partial hospitalization is often the next level of care following residential and inpatient programs, as a tool for clients to reintegrate sobriety into their lives. Clients engage in 5-6 days of scheduled treatment activities, and return to their own place of residence at the end of each day. Therapeutic activities are similar to those in residential and inpatient programs. 
  • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) — Intensive outpatient programs provide clients with support to continue their sobriety journey. Clients meet 3-5 days a week, and focus on the individual and group components of treatment. 
  • Standard Outpatient Programs (OP) — Standard outpatient programs are the least intensive level of care. Clients can meet with their providers weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on their progress. 

MAT & Suboxone

MAT, or medication assisted treatment, is the process of medication being used conjointly with therapeutic services. Suboxone is a prescribed medication, often used during MAT to help treat opioid use disorder. Suboxone aids with treatment by decreasing the effects of the withdrawal process, without providing a physical or psychological dependance.
