Drug and Alcohol Detox Program at Turning Point of Tampa

Turning Point of Tampa’s detox center offers inpatient medically supervised detox. Our addiction medicine doctors guide our patients through withdrawal symptoms on our private campus.

Turning Point of Tampa offers an environment that is first and foremost safe. We designed our drug and alcohol detox to provide the privacy and support needed as your body recovers from the effects of substance abuse. We know that detox facilities and treatment facilities can be measured by how successful the treatment process is for the individual. Our alumni prove that a successful rehab center experience can have lasting recovery.

Drug detox and alcohol detox can have mild or severe withdrawal symptoms. Completing a proper medical detox as prescribed by our physicians, who are board certified in addiction medicine and psychiatry will ensure your detox process and health are in great hands as you start on the therapeutic recovery process.

Substance Abuse Treatment

Turning Point of Tampa offers both detox programs and treatment programs. We believe that responsible and ethical programs offer treatment options to their patients.

Our levels of care start with our drug and alcohol detoxification program, and move through the continuum of care to our drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs, including dual diagnosis treatment, and eating disorder programs.

The overall atmosphere is clean, professional, and inviting, likely designed to put visitors at ease while they wait.

Detox Program Admission

Every patient sees our Addiction Medicine Doctors and Nurse Practitioner. We can handle a very high acuity, which means that if a patient has entered our detox program and suffers from substance abuse coupled with medical conditions that can be treated in house or via a local doctor – they are a candidate for admission.

Each section of the couch is accented with matching cushions, providing comfort and a consistent look.

On the table, there’s also a chess set mid-game, inviting occupants to engage in a thoughtful and strategic pastime. Above the sofa, there is a large, framed abstract painting with soft, blended hues that complement the neutral color scheme of the room. The artwork adds a touch of elegance and artistic interest to the space without overpowering the simple and clean design. The walls are painted in a light color, and the flooring appears to be a wood-like laminate or vinyl, both choices enhancing the room's modern aesthetic.
