Opioid overdoses remain a serious problem in Palm Beach County, and fentanyl is the main reason. Fentanyl is one of the deadliest opioids because it is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Illicit fentanyl is often mixed into heroin, cocaine, and counterfeit pills, and many people who take it do not know it is there.
Fentanyl causes overdoses because, like other opioids, it slows breathing. During an overdose, the person loses consciousness and their breathing becomes slow and shallow. Without help, it can stop altogether.
An overdose does not have to be fatal. Naloxone is a medication that reverses the effects of opioids, including fentanyl, and can restore breathing within minutes. If you suspect an overdose, call 911 and give naloxone if you have it. The safer path, though, is getting your loved one into treatment before it ever reaches that point.
Allure Detox is a licensed medical detox and residential treatment center in West Palm Beach, in the heart of Palm Beach County. We help people overcome addiction to alcohol, opioids, and other drugs. This page is written for families and explains how treatment works.
Treatment Programs
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment is our inpatient program, and it is often a good fit for someone who has never been in treatment before. Stopping is hard because your loved one may be physically dependent on a substance, psychologically dependent, or both.
Opioids can cause severe physical and psychological dependence. When someone who is dependent stops taking them, withdrawal symptoms follow. These include:
- Changes in blood pressure
- Rapid heart rate
- Stomach cramps
- Vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea
- Mood disturbances
Withdrawal can be dangerous, particularly from alcohol and benzodiazepines, so detoxing alone is not advised. Medically supervised detox followed by residential treatment is the safer option.
The Detoxification Process
During detox at Allure Detox, your loved one’s body clears the substance under medical supervision. We keep them as comfortable as possible with medications that ease withdrawal symptoms. Our physicians and nurses monitor them 24 hours a day so they can complete the process safely.
People often believe detox is all that is needed, but it is only the beginning. Treatment for substance use disorder is a long-term process that involves several kinds of therapy.
Detox addresses the physical dependence. After that, individual and group therapy address thoughts and emotions. In the past, your loved one may have coped with difficult feelings by using substances. In treatment, therapists, psychiatrists, and physicians help them learn to face those feelings without drugs or alcohol.
Holistic Treatment
Holistic treatment supports your loved one physically, mentally, and spiritually, alongside medical and clinical care. After detox, their therapist sets up a treatment plan for their stay at the treatment center, and holistic therapies can be part of it.
Holistic therapies at Allure include:
- Chiropractic care
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Physical therapy
- Yoga
What Are the Benefits of Holistic Therapy?
Addiction affects the whole person. It drains energy, disrupts eating and sleep, and strains relationships, so it takes a toll on the body as well as on mental health.
Holistic therapies help with those effects. They ease physical discomfort, reduce stress, and give your loved one healthy routines to rely on, which supports the clinical work and helps lower the risk of relapse after they leave.
Dual Diagnosis
A dual diagnosis means having a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time. It is common: about 50% of people with a mental illness will also experience a substance use disorder, and the reverse is also true.
At Allure Detox, our clinical team assesses for co-occurring mental health conditions and treats both at the same time. This matters because untreated symptoms of a mental health condition can drive substance use.
The Cost
People are often afraid to ask how much drug rehab in Palm Beach County costs, but you don’t need to be. At Allure Detox, we will verify your loved one’s insurance coverage for free, so you know what is covered before making any decisions.
Insurance Coverage
Allure Detox works with many major U.S. health insurance plans, so your insurance may cover part or all of a medically supervised detox. We are not able to accept Medicaid or Medicare at this time. See our accepted insurances page for the plans we work with most often.
