You don’t have to go through withdrawal alone. At Orlando Recovery Center, our medical team makes detox as safe and comfortable as possible, with 24/7 supervision, in a quiet setting on our Orlando campus.
Medical detox is the first step in treating a substance use disorder. As your body clears alcohol or drugs, withdrawal symptoms can range from uncomfortable to dangerous.
In medical detox, doctors and nurses monitor you around the clock, treat symptoms as they appear and keep you safe until you are stable enough to start therapy.
Alcohol detox. Alcohol withdrawal can start within hours of the last drink. Severe withdrawal can cause seizures or delirium tremens (DTs), which is why medical supervision matters.
Opioid and fentanyl detox. Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening on its own, but it is intensely uncomfortable, and relapse after detox carries a high overdose risk. Symptoms are treated so you can finish detox and move into treatment.
Benzodiazepine detox. Stopping benzodiazepines such as Xanax or Klonopin suddenly can be dangerous. Detox is done gradually under medical supervision.
Stimulant detox (cocaine, meth, Adderall). Stimulant withdrawal is mostly psychological, with exhaustion, low mood and strong cravings. Monitoring and support help you get through the crash safely.
It depends on the substance, how much and how long you’ve used, and your health. Most patients complete medical detox at Orlando Recovery Center in six to nine days. Your exact stay is based on clinical need and your insurance.
We don’t recommend it. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can be fatal without medical care, and withdrawal from any substance makes relapse more likely.
If you’re worried about symptoms, call us at (407) 680-1226. If symptoms become severe, call 911.
Many plans cover medically necessary detox. Orlando Recovery Center is in network with Aetna, Florida Blue (BCBS), Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare/Optum and other plans.
Coverage depends on your plan, so verify your insurance or call to check your benefits. If you don’t have insurance, we can talk about private-pay options.
Medical detox may be the safest way to stop if any of these apply to you, or if you have a mental health or medical condition that makes withdrawal riskier.
