Same-day medical detox for alcohol and drugs, bed permitting
Which detox admits Delray Beach callers the same day?
About 20 miles south of Delray Beach, our licensed Pompano Beach medical detox takes you safely off alcohol and drugs, and you can arrive the day you call if a bed is free.
Nurses look in on you at every hour, medication from your prescriber eases withdrawal, and treatment starts the morning detox ends.
How soon can detox start for Delray Beach callers?
Today, if a bed is free. Admissions picks up at any hour, and the ride from Delray Beach takes about half an hour.
During that first call, admissions learns what you use, the amount, your last use and your health history. We check your insurance during that call and give you an arrival time.
Someone sober drives you. From downtown, take Atlantic Avenue west to I-95 exit 52B and head south about 20 miles. Withdrawal makes driving yourself a bad idea, so let a partner, parent or friend take the wheel.

Who needs medical detox instead of quitting cold?
Daily drinking or drug use, feeling sick when you stop, or quit attempts that collapsed within the first few days all point to medical detox.
Alcohol and benzodiazepines are the two where a supervised taper matters most. Opioid withdrawal feels brutal, and buprenorphine takes the edge off it fast. Daily stimulant use brings a crash of sleep, low mood and cravings, and a nurse keeps you steady through it.
If you drink every night after work and have never felt sick stopping, call anyway. Admissions tells you on the phone whether detox, PHP or IOP fits.
If any of that sounds like you, call before you stop. Quitting cold at home is the plan our prescribers ask you to skip.
What happens in detox after the drive down from Delray?
A nurse checks you on a schedule around the clock, your prescriber adjusts medication as withdrawal shifts, and you rest, eat and sleep.
Your first hours bring an intake assessment: your history, your health, what you used and when. Your prescriber writes a plan from that: a benzodiazepine taper for alcohol, buprenorphine for opioids, plus thiamine and fluids.
Once the worst passes, you join a group or two and meet your therapist. By the last day, your next step is already booked.

Family Coming In for Detox Day

How long does detox take for alcohol, opioids and benzos?
For alcohol, three to seven days. For opioids, five to ten. A benzodiazepine taper lasts as long as your prescriber needs to bring the dose down slowly.
Your prescriber reads how your body responds each day and ends detox when you are steady, not on a fixed date. The MedlinePlus encyclopedia entry on alcohol withdrawal puts the peak of symptoms at 24 to 72 hours, which is why the first three days carry the closest nursing.
Is medical detox safe for you?
Yes. Medically supervised detox is the safe way to stop alcohol or benzodiazepines, and a nurse stays with you through every hour of it.
Your prescriber checks your medication against your history, and your nurse watches how you feel and calls the prescriber in when anything shifts. You never wait out a hard night alone in a room. Your nurse also keeps you eating and drinking fluids, because a body coming off alcohol runs short on both.
Does insurance cover detox for Delray Beach residents?
Yes. Insurers class medically supervised detox as medically necessary care, and Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare plans cover it.
Your deductible, your coinsurance and our network status with your plan set what you pay. Admissions runs a free insurance verification on your first call and tells you your share before you pack a bag.
How much does detox cost without insurance?
Admissions gives you a self-pay figure for detox on the call, priced by the days your prescriber expects you to need.
The drug you are coming off sets most of the cost, because a three-day alcohol detox and a slow benzodiazepine taper are different lengths of stay. Ask admissions to set the figure out line by line. With insurance, detox bills by the day, so admissions gives you the daily share and the total for the days your prescriber expects.

Licensed Medical Detox Staff
Your prescriber sets the medication plan, and a nurse confirms each dose.
Detox Into Rehab Without a Gap
The day detox ends, you begin your live-in stay, PHP or IOP.
Detox or rehab: which do you need first?
Detox first, if your body depends on the drug. Detox gets you off it safely, and rehab treats what keeps you using.
You go straight from detox into treatment, with no wait and no second intake. Most of our detox stays roll straight into a live-in rehab stay for Delray Beach callers, a PHP or IOP. Our alcohol detox and drug detox pages give the full detail.
What happens after detox for a Delray Beach resident?
Your case manager puts your next level of care on the calendar before your last detox day, so you leave with a start date, not a phone number.
If you live with family off Atlantic Avenue and home feels steady, PHP or IOP lets you sleep there while you keep up treatment. If home is where you drank, a live-in stay gives you more distance first. Your discharge plan names the step-down level, your first follow-up appointment and your seat in our alumni program.
Coming to us after a psychiatric stay at Fair Oaks Pavilion on the Delray Medical Center campus? Call from your room before discharge, and we line up detox and treatment for your mental health in the same plan through our dual diagnosis program.
What if someone you love refuses detox?
Call admissions anyway. We script the talk with your family, and when a loved one in danger keeps saying no, Florida’s Marchman Act opens a court route.
Our intervention services team plans the conversation with you, and we hold a bed for the hour your loved one says yes.
If drinking or drugs have put your loved one at risk and they still say no, you as a relative can file a Marchman Act petition. In Palm Beach County, the clerk takes mental health filings at the South County Courthouse on West Atlantic Avenue, inside Delray Beach. A court order can send the person to a licensed detox for assessment, and admissions talks you through that route before you take it.
Is our detox licensed and private?
Yes. We run a licensed medical detox, and HIPAA protects every word you tell us.
What you share stays with your care team. In a city of 66,846, where you run into people you know on the weekend, that privacy lets you walk in without explaining yourself to anyone. Family coming down from farther up the coast can ride Amtrak into the Delray Beach station on Congress Avenue and drive the last stretch.
Can your family stay involved during detox?
Yes. Your case manager keeps the person you name in the loop, with your written consent, and family sessions begin once withdrawal settles.
Your first days belong to rest, food and sleep. Once you feel steadier, a partner or parent makes the half-hour drive down I-95 for a family session, where your therapist sets out what the next weeks look like and what home needs to change.
Your family leaves detox with a plan too. Before discharge, your case manager walks them through your next level of care, your first week back in Delray Beach and the signs that mean they call us.
