What to Expect at Retreat of Broward

At The Retreat of Broward, we offer both medical detox and residential rehab in a setting built around your comfort and recovery. Getting through the early days of treatment is hard enough without your environment working against you. Our facility is calm, private, and staffed around the clock by people who understand what this process actually involves. From the moment you arrive, the focus is on you.

We know the decision to ask for help is not easy. Once you make it, we want everything that follows to feel as supported as possible. Our team provides personalized care and 24/7 medical oversight from day one. No one here will judge how you got here or how long it took to reach out.

What to Expect at The Retreat of Broward

Our clinical team at The Retreat of Broward comprises medical professionals who specialize in addiction and withdrawal management. We provide around-the-clock care and adjust our approach based on how each person responds. Our medically supervised detox program integrates behavioral therapies alongside physical stabilization. The psychological side of withdrawal deserves as much attention as the physical side. We adjust care based on how each person is actually responding rather than following a fixed schedule.

Following detox, we offer aftercare services centered on individual counseling and continued therapeutic support. The length and structure of aftercare depend on each person’s needs rather than on a standard program length. Our team starts planning what comes next well before discharge, so no one leaves without a clear picture of the road ahead.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Detox Programs

The Retreat of Broward offers personalized detox programs for people dealing with alcohol, benzodiazepine, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioid, and other substance dependencies. Withdrawal looks different depending on the substance, the duration of use, and the person. Our team builds each detox plan around those specifics rather than applying a standard protocol. In many cases, medication-assisted treatment is incorporated to support a safer and more manageable withdrawal process.

Withdrawal from various substances varies greatly in terms of symptoms, duration, and treatment. The experience a client has at our South Florida detox center is greatly impacted by the type of substance they are using. In many cases, medication-assisted treatment serves as a valuable tool during the withdrawal stage of the recovery process.

Alcohol Detox

Symptoms: Anxiety, shaking, nausea, vomiting, headache, increased heart rate, sweating, irritability, confusion, insomnia, nightmares, and in severe cases, seizures and hallucinations.
Duration: Symptoms usually start within 8 hours after the last drink, peak around 24 to 72 hours, and can last for weeks.
Treatment: Treatment may include medication to manage symptoms (like benzodiazepines for seizures and anxiety), hydration, and therapy.

Cocaine Detox

Symptoms: Depression, fatigue, increased appetite, unpleasant dreams or insomnia, slowed thinking or movement, restlessness.
Duration: Symptoms can begin within hours of last use and typically last 7-10 days.
Treatment: There’s no FDA-approved medication for cocaine withdrawal symptoms. Treatment focuses on supportive care, therapy, and possibly medications for depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders.

Methamphetamine (Meth) Detox

Symptoms: Depression, fatigue, increased appetite, long, disturbed sleep periods, agitation, anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia.
Duration: Acute symptoms can last 1-2 weeks, while some symptoms like cravings and depression can last for months.
Treatment: Like cocaine, there’s no specific medication for meth withdrawal. Treatment involves supportive care, behavioral therapies, and dual diagnosis treatment.

Heroin Detox

Symptoms: Nausea, abdominal pain, sweating, shaking, nervousness, agitation, depression, muscle spasms, cravings.
Duration: Symptoms typically begin within 6-12 hours of the last dose, peak within 2-3 days, and last a week or longer.
Treatment: Medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, along with supportive care and therapy.

Fentanyl Detox

Symptoms: Similar to heroin but can be more severe due to fentanyl’s potency. Includes muscle and bone pain, sleep problems, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and severe urges and cravings to use fentanyl.
Duration: Symptoms start within a few hours after the last dose and can last for several days to a week.
Treatment: Treatment is similar to heroin. Often, requiring longer-term medication-assisted therapy due to the drug’s potency.

Xanax and Other Benzodiazepines Detox

Symptoms: Anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, muscle tension, irritability, blurred vision, sweating, panic attacks, tremors, and, in severe cases, seizures can occur.
Duration: Symptoms begin within 12-24 hours, peak in 1-4 days, and gradually wane over weeks or months.
Treatment: Gradual tapering off the medication under medical supervision. Also, combined with supportive care and sometimes other medications to manage symptoms.

Prescription Opioids (like OxyContin, Vicodin) Detox

Symptoms: Runny nose, sweating, yawning, insomnia, agitation, anxiety, muscle aches, increased tearing, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dilated pupils, and abdominal cramping.
Duration: Begin within 12 hours (short-acting opioids) or within 30 hours (longer-acting ones); peak within 1-3 days and taper off over a week.
Treatment: Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, along with counseling and behavioral therapies.

Addiction Treatment Services

At The Retreat of Broward, our focus is providing comprehensive care through a variety of therapeutic approaches. Also, we help guide individuals along their journey to recovery at our South Florida detox center. Our team knows that every person is unique, so our treatment offerings are tailored to meet individual needs.

Individual, Group, and Family Therapy

A core part of our program is the combination of individual, group, and family therapy. Individual counseling helps each person understand their own relationship with substance use and develop strategies for managing cravings and avoiding relapse. Group counseling creates a space where shared experiences build genuine connections and a support network that extends beyond the facility. Family therapy addresses the relationships that addiction strains or breaks, creating a structured space for honest conversation and the rebuilding of trust.

CBT and DBT

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are central to how we work. Both approaches help identify emotional triggers connected to substance use and give each person practical tools for handling those triggers differently. CBT focuses on shifting the thought patterns that drive substance use. DBT builds emotional regulation skills that hold up under real pressure.

Inpatient Mental Health

For those dealing with more serious addiction or co-occurring mental health conditions, we offer inpatient mental health services alongside our detox program. These provide 24-hour care with therapeutic support in a setting designed for focused healing. Our dual diagnosis approach means mental health conditions receive direct clinical attention rather than being set aside until after detox ends. Our team identifies and addresses those conditions during intake so they are built into the care plan from the start.

Inpatient Mental Health

For those suffering from more serious forms of addiction, we offer inpatient mental health services. These offer 24-hour care with a variety of therapeutic services in a home-like setting. Inpatient programs typically focus on the medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms and often incorporate evidence-based treatments, therapy, and a comprehensive recovery plan.

Our South Florida detox center extends a range of addiction treatment services, each designed to address individual needs and optimize the recovery process. At the Retreat of Broward, we’re committed to paving the way toward a healthier, happier lifestyle, free from addiction.
