By We Level Up Lake Worth FL | Author Susan Egbert, PharmD
Street drugs represent a dangerous category of substances manufactured and distributed outside legal channels, often with devastating consequences.
Unlike regulated pharmaceuticals, these illicit substances contain unknown ingredients, contaminants, and unpredictable potency levels that significantly increase health risks. From synthetic opioids laced with fentanyl to methamphetamine produced in makeshift labs, street drugs pose serious threats including overdose, severe addiction, and life-threatening complications.
Professional detoxification represents the crucial first step toward recovery from street drug dependency. The process involves medically supervised withdrawal that safely manages the often intense physical symptoms that occur when substances leave the body.
At We Level Up Lake Worth, we understand that attempting to detox from street drugs without proper medical supervision can be not only unsuccessful but potentially fatal in some cases.

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.
Medical Supervision and Monitoring
Throughout your detox, our medical staff provides 24/7 monitoring to ensure your safety and comfort.
This continuous oversight includes:
- Assessment of withdrawal symptoms using standardized scales
- Immediate medical intervention if complications arise
- Ongoing adjustment of medications based on your response and comfort level
- Regular vital sign checks to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature
Our monitoring protocols are particularly important during the first 72 hours of detox when withdrawal symptoms typically peak.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
For certain street drugs, medication-assisted treatment significantly improves comfort and safety during detox.
Our physicians may prescribe:
- Anti-seizure medications to prevent complications from certain substances
- Benzodiazepines for managing stimulant withdrawal (methamphetamine, cocaine)
- Buprenorphine or methadone for opioid withdrawal (including heroin and fentanyl)
All medications are administered under strict medical supervision, with dosages carefully calibrated to your individual needs.
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.
Benefits of Professional Detox
Street drug detoxification carries significant risks when attempted without medical supervision. According to Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), certain withdrawal syndromes can be life-threatening without proper medical intervention. At We Level Up Lake Worth, our medical protocols significantly reduce these risks through:
- Careful monitoring of vital signs to ensure physiological stability
- Continuous monitoring to detect early signs of complications
- Immediate access to emergency medical interventions if needed
- Medication management to prevent severe withdrawal symptoms like delirium or seizures
The safety difference between professional detox and attempting to quit “cold turkey” cannot be overstated—particularly for substances where withdrawal can be fatal.
Beyond safety, our program prioritizes your comfort during what can be a physically challenging process. Our comfort measures include:
- Comfortable facilities designed to reduce stress and promote rest
- Compassionate staff trained to provide emotional support during difficult moments
- Nutritional support to begin healing the body from substance-related damage
- Targeted medications to address specific symptoms like insomnia, muscle pain, or nausea
Our approach extends beyond physical detoxification to address your whole person:
- Early aftercare planning to ensure continuous support after detox
- Individual counseling sessions begin during detox to help process emotions
- Introduction to recovery principles and coping strategies
- Mindfulness and stress reduction techniques to manage anxiety
- Nutritional guidance to restore physical health
