Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Over the years many rehab centers have opened in Florida, advertise drug detox but do not provide it. Drug detox is actually provided in another setting in an entirely different rehab center. After detox, the patient is transferred back to the original rehab center. While this type of addiction treatment is not illegal or even harmful to the patient, it is far from optimal rehab.

A Florida rehab center should provide medical detox, residential addiction treatment, as well as, other continuums of care. This allows the patient to receive the optimum in rehab as this could be the one chance they have at accessing treatment. Again, there is nothing wrong with the rehab centers that transfer their patients elsewhere for detox, it just is not the best possible care for the patient.

To locate a Florida rehab center with a full continuum of care you can call the national addiction helpline at 1-800-511-9225.
