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
- Counseling to start treatment planning
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
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 Ruskin residents are filed in Hillsborough County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Hillsborough County.
Publicly funded substance use services in Hillsborough County are coordinated by Central Florida Behavioral Health Network, the behavioral health managing entity that contracts with the Florida Department of Children and Families for the region.
