Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisWhat medical detox involves
Medically supervised detox takes the guesswork and much of the fear out of quitting. Instead of white-knuckling withdrawal at home, you have a care team managing nausea, anxiety, sleeplessness and cravings around the clock.
The length of detox depends on what you use, how much and for how long, plus your overall health.
What to expect
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
Recovery resources in Fort Lauderdale
Broward Health's Hospital Opioid Bridge Program lets people who come to the emergency department for opioid use start medication such as Suboxone to ease withdrawal and then be linked to ongoing care.
The Broward Sheriff's Office runs the treatment arm of the county's Judicial Drug Court, where eligible adults with criminal charges can complete supervised outpatient treatment, and pretrial participants may have charges dismissed on completion.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
Does insurance cover medical detox in Florida?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care, under federal parity rules. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
How long does medical detox take?
Detox usually takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the substance, how much and how long you have used, and your health. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox can take longer and needs close supervision.
Is detox enough on its own?
Detox manages withdrawal but does not treat addiction itself. The best results come when detox leads straight into residential or outpatient treatment.
