What Is Opioid Detox Like in Tampa?

What Are Substance Use Disorders?

Substance use disorders (SUD) is another way to say “addiction.” If you cannot stop using a substance, even when you want to, feel intense cravings for drugs or alcohol, or have developed a tolerance, you may have a substance use disorder.

Other signs of a SUD include:

• All your social activities revolve around getting the substance, using it, and recovering.
• You have stashes of paraphernalia or the drug around the house or on your person.
• You continue to use the substance even when it causes health problems, relationship issues, financial difficulties, or issues at work.
• You have isolated yourself from friends and family and have stopped doing the things you love to do (hobbies, sports, etc.) in favor of using drugs or alcohol.

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, call WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab today at 877.969.1993 to learn how we can help.

Levels of Care for Opioid Treatment in Tampa, Florida

Opioid drugs are a highly potent and addictive class of drugs that include prescription painkillers and street drugs like heroin and fentanyl.

Levels of care that are usually required in an opioid addiction treatment program are:

Detox

 Tampa drug rehab involves medication-assisted treatment, providing medicines like methadone to patients to ease drug cravings and other FDA-approved medications to relieve pain and restlessness as the drugs leave your system. Along with the issues with physical dependence, opiate detox is often quite emotionally tricky, so therapy and counseling are part of this integrated program.

Residential rehab

30 to 90 days of inpatient treatment is the next recommended step. At WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Tampa, we have comfortable and safe, 100% sober accommodations, with fully structured group and individual therapy days, doctor’s appointments, and psychiatric care. In the evenings (after 4:30 pm), you will become our guest, with free time and full access to all the luxury amenities we offer.

Outpatient treatment

Outpatient care for our patients is a broad spectrum of customizable levels of care, including:

Intensive outpatient program

The IOP at WhiteSands is a 30-to-90-day program where you live outside the facility and attend group therapy at least three hours a day, three days a week. You will also regularly meet with a therapist and a psychiatrist, and a life-skills guide will check in with you every day for 90 days to help you meet recovery goals and stay on track.

Partial hospitalization program 

The PHP is a transitional period between inpatient rehab and an IOP, lasting 10 to 20 days. You will live in residence or at home, and come in for group therapy five hours a day, six days a week, with multiple therapy sessions and a weekly psychiatrist visit.

Aftercare programs

Alumni groups and peer support groups are especially important for those recovering from opioid addiction. There may be recurring withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings for weeks or even months after rehab is over. Joining these groups means there is always somewhere to turn.
