Genesis House has offered proven drug and alcohol detox programs to the people of Lake Worth, FL since 1992. These courses aid in clearing a person’s mind and body of addictive substances. It is also extremely important to participate in a medical detox program prior to receiving any other form of professional addiction treatment. After all, attempting to detox alone is highly dangerous. It can be very complicated (if not impossible) for individuals to learn and retain the information and skills necessary to truly maintain long-term recovery on their own. The detoxification process ranges in severity and length of time depending on several factors. Those factors include what types of substances are being abused, the client’s physical and mental health history, as well as the length of time the substance has been used.
