Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout medical detox
Medical detox is supervised withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, with doctors and nurses who can treat symptoms as they come. It is the safest way to stop alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, where withdrawal can be severe or even dangerous.
Detox usually lasts 3 to 10 days. It is the first step, not the whole treatment, so a good detox program plans your transfer to residential or outpatient care before you leave.
What to expect
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
Local help and next steps
If a loved one refuses help and is a danger to themselves or others, Florida's Marchman Act lets families ask the court for involuntary assessment and treatment. Petitions for Lauderhill residents are filed in Broward County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Broward County.
Publicly funded substance use services in Broward County are coordinated by Broward Behavioral Health Coalition, the behavioral health managing entity that contracts with the Florida Department of Children and Families for the region.

Frequently asked questions
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.
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for Broward County.
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.
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.
