Medically Supervised Detox

Detoxification, or detox, is the first critical step in the recovery process. At The Wave of North Florida, our medically supervised detox program ensures clients can safely manage withdrawal symptoms in a supportive and monitored environment. The detox process can be physically and emotionally challenging, but with 24/7 care from our team of experienced medical professionals, clients can begin their journey to recovery with comfort and safety.

Focus Areas of Detox:

Safe Withdrawal: We prioritize the safety of clients as they cleanse their bodies of harmful substances like alcohol, opioids, and other drugs.
Stabilization: Our team works to stabilize clients’ physical and mental health during this critical phase.
Transition to Treatment: Detox is not the end of recovery. We help clients seamlessly transition to the next phase of care, whether residential treatment or outpatient programs.

Our detox program also includes personalized assessments, ensuring that each client receives care tailored to their specific needs.

Residential Treatment

Our residential treatment program (RTC) provides clients with a structured and immersive environment to focus entirely on their recovery. This program is ideal for those who require intensive therapy and a safe space to heal away from daily distractions.

Benefits of Residential Treatment:

Comprehensive Care: Clients receive individual and group therapy sessions, psychoeducation, and holistic treatments tailored to their needs.
Safe Environment: The secure and supportive setting helps clients focus fully on their recovery journey.
