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.
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.
Our outpatient opioid detox program in Jacksonville is designed to treat withdrawal from a wide range of opioids, including:
and fentanyl analogues
including OxyContin and Percocet
including Vicodin and Norco
Every opioid detox protocol at Serenus is individualized. Your history, your substance, your dosage, and your medical needs all factor into how your care is built.

Medication plays an important role in managing opioid withdrawal safely and comfortably. At Serenus, our nurse practitioner prescribes an individualized medication taper based on your intake evaluation. That taper is adjusted throughout your program based on your daily vitals and symptom response.
For appropriate candidates, Serenus also administers Vivitrol, an extended-release naltrexone injection that reduces opioid cravings and supports longer-term recovery. Our team will discuss whether Vivitrol is right for your situation during your evaluation.
For clients who need ongoing Suboxone maintenance or a dedicated MAT program after detox, our case management team will connect you with the right resources in Jacksonville.
Getting through opioid withdrawal safely is about more than managing physical symptoms. At Serenus, every client in our outpatient opioid detox program also receives:
one-on-one time with a substance use counselor each week
structured recovery-based sessions with a handout after every group
coordination of the practical details of your program and your step-down planning
before you complete your opioid detox program, your next step is already in place
The Serenus outpatient opioid detox program runs approximately 21 days, with visits Monday through Friday for about two hours each. The timeline can vary depending on the specific opioid, the duration and level of use, and how your body responds to the detox protocol. Our clinical team monitors your progress daily and adjusts your care accordingly.
Our team is here to answer your questions, verify your insurance, and help you figure out if Serenus is the right fit.
