You Don't Have to White-Knuckle Opioid Withdrawal

Opioid withdrawal is one of the most physically demanding experiences a person can go through. It's the kind of experience that sends people back to using not because they want to, but because they can't see another way through it.

The good news is there is another way through it. Medically supervised opioid detox at Serenus in Jacksonville means you don't have to manage withdrawal alone. Our team is with you every step of the way. That means monitoring your symptoms, adjusting your medications, and making sure your body gets through this as safely and comfortably as possible.

How Outpatient Opioid Detox Works in Jacksonville

On your first visit, our clinical and medical team conducts a thorough evaluation of your opioid use history, your current physical state, and your withdrawal risk. Our nurse practitioner uses that information to build a personalized detox protocol.

This is an individualized medication taper designed to manage your withdrawal symptoms and keep you stable throughout the process.

From there, our nursing team monitors your progress at every visit. Vitals are taken daily. Your protocol is adjusted based on how your body is responding. If your symptoms change, your care changes with them.

The program runs approximately 21 days, Monday through Friday. Most visits are about two hours. You come in, receive your care, and go back to your life.
