Our Drug Treatment Programs
Whether you are exploring outpatient options or considering inpatient drug treatment in Florida, our programs can help you reclaim your life.
Medical Detox
Detoxing prioritizes your well-being and prepares you for the therapeutic work ahead. A medically supervised detox:
- Prioritizes physical safety: For certain substances, such as benzodiazepines (“benzos”), abruptly stopping use can lead to significant and potentially life-threatening complications. Medically supervised withdrawal helps safely manage these risks.
- Provides compassionate symptom management: Withdrawal from other substances, such as prescription opioids, can cause significant muscle pain and other distressing symptoms. Medically supported detoxing safely manages discomfort and pain.
- Builds a stable foundation for recovery: Medically supervised detoxing provides physical and emotional stability to begin healing. With a strong foundation, you can engage more fully and effectively in the therapeutic process.
In Florida, Tranquil Shores works toward long-term recovery through customized treatments and evidence-based therapies that address the root causes of substance use.

Our partial hospitalization program is ideal for clients who have a stable home environment but require therapeutic structure during the day. You can participate in daily therapy sessions and activities at our beachside location, then return home afterward.

Understanding Drug Withdrawal
The drug withdrawal process varies based on the substance, dose and duration of use.
Opioid Withdrawal
The opioid withdrawal timeline depends on the type of opioid used, with symptoms from short-acting opioids beginning sooner than from long-acting opioids. Expected symptoms include:
- Early symptoms: Withdrawal symptoms that mimic a common cold or flu, including muscle aches, anxiety, runny nose and sweating, often begin within the first 8-36 hours after last use.
- Peak symptoms: Symptoms typically intensify by three days after last use, potentially involving abdominal cramping, nausea and high blood pressure.
Stimulant Withdrawal
Meth, cocaine and other stimulant withdrawal symptoms may include significant fatigue, insomnia, and psychomotor agitation, which can involve increased physical restlessness. The withdrawal process typically occurs in phases:
- Acute phase: Symptoms often peak within the first few days and typically improve within four to seven days.
- Protracted phase: After the acute phase, some symptoms, such as mood changes, low energy and cravings, can continue for weeks or months.
Benzodiazepine Withdrawal
Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can be long and complex, with the process often occurring in phases:
- Acute withdrawal: Symptoms may include tremors, anxiety and insomnia and typically begin three to seven days after last use. Severe withdrawal can also lead to delirium, hallucinations and life-threatening seizures.
- Protracted withdrawal: The recovery process often continues for an extended duration. Withdrawal symptoms may persist for months or years after last use.
Why Medical Detox Matters
Medical detox is a critical first step for safely managing substance withdrawal. Since the type and severity of withdrawal symptoms can vary greatly, a medically supervised environment may be necessary. A supervised medical detox approach can offer clinical oversight to help you navigate withdrawal safely before joining an addiction treatment program.

We accommodate various client needs through a wide range of specialized programs:

Resources for Families
Tranquil Shores provides dedicated support to both clients and their families.
Seeking Help for a Loved One
Approaching a loved one about their substance use requires compassion, careful planning and support. If you are unsure how to begin, consider these steps:
- Speak from a place of love and concern: Use “I” statements, such as “I am worried when…”, to express how their substance use personally affects you.
- Choose the right time and place: Find a calm, private moment when your loved one is sober and a location where you are unlikely to be interrupted.
- Offer a clear solution: Present treatment as a hopeful and concrete next step, and communicate that you are ready to help them make the call.
Marchman Act and Involuntary Treatment
Under Florida’s Marchman Act, qualified family members can petition a court for assessment and treatment when a loved one is unable to recognize their need for care or is unwilling to receive care. We can help you navigate this process. Explore our Marchman Act FAQs page to learn how the law can support your family.

Through our family programs, resources and recovery services, you can learn how to build and maintain healthy boundaries, communicate effectively and stop patterns of enabling behavior.
