Recovery is a process; it’s something that you have to work on every day. There’s no shame in beginning again; a fresh start gives you the chance to build a bigger, better future for yourself that is not defined by your addiction.” - Dr. Vikram Tarugu, Owner and Founder of Detox of South Florida

CEO's Words
Welcome to Detox of South Florida, the premier detoxification program in Florida for alcohol and drug addiction with a high success rate in the state.
Miami
Miami Benzo Treatment Program
No one starts taking benzodiazepine medications, such as Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin, with the intentions to become an addict. You began taking the medication to calm your nerves, reduce your anxiety and to stop panic attacks. The medication came highly recommended by your Doctor, just as it has to thousands upon thousands of other men and women throughout the world.
After some time your body began to become tolerant to the medication, requiring more and more of the drug to achieve the desired effects. As the dosage increased your body began to develop a physical dependency to the benzo medication, withdrawal symptoms set in and the more you try to stop it just seems impossible.
Regardless to if you started using Benzos for medical purposes, self medicating or for recreational use you have gotten to the point where you are unable to stop its use on your own and need help from a treatment program. Without the right treatment your addiction will only grow, taking you to a dangerous level in doses that could cause serious harm to you physically and mentally, even putting you in risk of death. Do not continue to fuel your benzo addiction, make the choice to start treatment today in Miami.
The first step in most treatment processes is benzo detoxification. Detox of South Florida takes you out of an environment of temptation and places you into a comfortable, warm and safe environment that promotes your sobriety. Rather than quitting benzos cold turkey and risking serious side effects and the pain of withdrawal, you will begin a step-down program to help you gradually wean off the medication.
Patients at Detox of South Florida in Miami report minimal to no discomfort during the detox. They are pleased with the environment and find comfort from the supportive, experienced medical staff.
Trying to quit time and time again on their own was not working, quitting with the help of a benzo detox program will help you achieve your goal of lifelong sobriety.

If you still have a few more questions, take a look at our FAQ’s below:
What characteristics should I look for in a good detox Florida center?
Research studies on addiction treatment have shown that some alcohol and substance addiction treatment and follow-up procedures are more successful than others. At Detox of South Florida, we emphasize on using the best approaches in alcohol or drug detox.
What type of addiction treatment do you provide?
Our goal is to ensure that all our patients regain their physical and mental states of health. Our treatment is therefore tailored to address each patient’s unique conditions. The treatment involves a combination of detoxification procedures such as opiate detox, alcohol detox, and heroin detox, just to mention a few, with other intervention procedures such as group and individual therapy, relapse prevention education, after-care planning, and in-house completion programs aimed at ensuring long-term sobriety and prevention of relapses.
How long do the addiction treatment and rehabilitation take?
Every patient has his or her unique type and level of addiction which is why the treatment period will normally vary from one individual to another. While some patients go through a 30-day rehab program, others will require a 60-day or 90-day program to recover from alcohol or drug addiction. The time it takes to recover will depend on the assessment report provided by the assigned medical professional who evaluates your case.
What happens in the case of a relapse?
As the best rehab in Florida, we believe a relapse should not be viewed as a failure but rather as a sign to help you get back on track by making necessary adjustments to your treatment.
How much does the overall addiction treatment and rehabilitation cost?
Our rates generally depend on the services provided. The overall cost will be determined by factors such as professional treatment fees, facilities, food, and utilities.
Do you allow visitations?
Unlike other addiction treatment centers across the country, at Detox of South Florida, we take your treatment and recovery process very seriously. Your treatment against addiction is a comprehensive process that may be affected by unwarranted interruptions. All visitations must, therefore, be approved well in advance by the treating therapist. We do this to ensure that your safety, focus on recovery, and stability are maintained at all times. The only visitors allowed are significant members of your family and close friends.
