Advanced Care Physicians Group, P.A. is physician owned and operated facility that offers Outpatient Medical Detox Services. We know finding the right detox center can be a daunting task for yourself, family member or a friend. Our Outpatient Medical Detox is very specific ~~~ Alcohol and Opiates (natural and synthetic collectively known as opioids). What makes one center different then another? We think it starts with staff that treat patients like family. However this should not be confused with enabling. It means treating patients with care and respect and the know how to keep them sober after detox is complete.

This is accomplished via a caring staff that includes Physicians, Behavioral Specialist to bridge treatment after detox to mitigate withdrawal and offer continued treatment to augment success. We utilize a multidisciplinary and multispecialty practice approach that provides State-of-the-Art-Care.

Outpatient Alcohol treatments

Alcohol detox (withdrawal) reactions can include tremors (the shakes), headaches, vomiting, perspiration, restlessness, lose of appetite and insomnia. More serious effects of alcohol detox can be Delirium Tremens (DT's), and seizures (convulsions), and possible death. Patients that want rapid detox should do a hospital detox and achieve medical stabilization prior to outpatient treatment/s. Most patients choose a more gradual approach working on the root cause of these behaviors while decreasing alcohol intake. There are medical concerns that should be addressed for all patients to make an educated decision what is best for them. Medical literature states about 70-80% of the patients can qualify for outpatient detox and this is established after carful medical evaluation. However we believe all rapid alcohol detox should take place inpatient. A physician can only make this determination after comprehensive medical evaluation to include but not limited to laboratory testing. Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistent drinkers.
