    I don’t want anyone to find out I’m in detox. Is that a problem?

    At Palm Beach Detox and Wellness, our facility caters to high profile individuals, such as business leaders, athletes and socialites. Discretion and patient privacy are of the utmost importance to our program. As a result, we understand the need for privacy during the detox process. Our Recovery and Wellness team members are trained to treat all of our patients with dignity, respect and discretion, and our facility is designed to help maintain your privacy.

    Will you help with an aftercare plan?

    We will customize each patient’s after-care plan, just like we customize their detox and wellness plan. The Palm Beach Detox and Wellness Institute staff will have a meeting with the patient and any loved ones prior to discharge to tailor a treatment plan which is specific to their needs. For some patients, transitioning to a residential treatment facility may be appropriate.  However, we understand that, for some individuals, alternate options may be preferred.  Our team will work closely with you to devise a customized transitional care strategy that may include regular follow-up with our Addiction Medicine physician, our Recovery and Wellness Coach, as well as psychotherapy and wellness services, The staff will even go as far as bringing the patient to local twelve step, SMART, or Refuge Recovery Meetings. Each patient has different wants and needs, and we are here to create an aftercare plan together specifically for that individual.

    What does a typical day look like at your facility?

    Patients will receive a wellness menu upon arrival at the facility to select daily wellness and healing sessions that fit their individual needs. They will go through each wellness option with the addiction physician and recovery coach to choose which wellness sessions are best suited for the individual. They will receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner from our gourmet menu. Each day is customized and handpicked specifically for each patient to best meet the needs of the patient.   A typical day could look like the following: 8am Breakfast 9am Guided Morning meditation with Recovery Coach 10am BioFeedback Therapy 12pm Energy Healing Session 1:30pm Lunch 3pm SMART Recovery journaling with Recovery Coach 4pm Psychotherapist Session 6pm Dinner 8pm Movie in Wellness lounge
