Initial Assessment and Evaluation

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation conducted by our medical team.

This comprehensive assessment includes:

• Complete substance use history, including types of street drugs used, frequency, and duration
• Detailed medical history review to identify any pre-existing conditions
• Physical examination and laboratory testing to assess your current health status
• Psychological screening to identify co-occurring mental health conditions
• Risk assessment for potential withdrawal complications

This information forms the foundation of your personalized detox plan, allowing our team to anticipate challenges and prepare appropriate interventions.

Program Duration

While the typical street drug detox program ranges from 5-10 days, the exact timeline varies based on:

• Any complications that may arise during the process
• The specific substances in your system
• Your body’s individual response to withdrawal
• Your history of use and level of physical dependence

Our team continuously evaluates your progress to determine the appropriate length of stay, ensuring you’re physically stable before transitioning to the next phase of treatment.

Types of Street Drugs Handled

We Level Up Lake Worth provides specialized detoxification for a wide range of street drugs, each presenting unique challenges:

Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth): Withdrawal typically involves intense psychological symptoms including anxiety, extreme fatigue, and severe depression. Our protocol addresses both the physical crash and the psychological distress.

MDMA/Ecstasy: These substances deplete serotonin levels, often resulting in mood disturbances during withdrawal. Our approach focuses on hydration, medications, and nutritional support to manage the neurochemical imbalances.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (Spice/K2): These unpredictable substances can cause severe withdrawal symptoms including psychosis and seizures. Our medical team is experienced in managing these potentially dangerous complications.

Cocaine and Crack Cocaine: Withdrawal often manifests as depression, intense cravings, and profound fatigue. Our program combines medical management with psychological support to address these challenging symptoms.

Physical and Emotional Symptoms

While everyone’s detox experience differs based on the substances used and individual factors, common withdrawal symptoms include:

The timeline and intensity of these symptoms vary by substance.

For example, opioid withdrawal symptoms typically peak within 72 hours, while methamphetamine withdrawal may involve an initial crash followed by prolonged psychological symptoms.

Symptom Management

Our comprehensive approach to managing withdrawal symptoms includes:

Counseling Support

Even during the physical detox phase, we begin addressing the psychological aspects of addiction through:

• Education about the addiction process and recovery principles
• Family support and education when appropriate
• Individual counseling sessions focused on immediate emotional needs
• Introduction to group therapy in a supportive environment

Aftercare and Continued Support

Detoxification is just the beginning of the recovery journey.

Aftercare Options

To support lasting sobriety, we offer comprehensive aftercare planning that may include:

• Intensive outpatient programs that accommodate work or school schedules
• Outpatient treatment options for those who can safely return home
• Partial hospitalization programs that provide structured daytime treatment
• Transition to residential treatment programs of varying intensities

Research from the Alcohol Research journal indicates that longer treatment durations correlate with better outcomes.

Support Networks

Building a strong support system is crucial for long-term recovery. We help connect you with:

• Alumni programs that maintain connection with others in recovery
• Family support resources to heal relationships affected by addiction
• Local recovery community organizations
• Peer support groups specific to your needs

Relapse Prevention

Before completing detox, we begin equipping you with essential tools for preventing relapse:

• Creation of an emergency response plan for cravings
• Development of healthy coping strategies
• Education about the warning signs of potential relapse
• Identification of personal triggers and high-risk situations
