Can anybody recommend a good detox place in Florida (preferably- not absolutely) 100 miles or so from gainsville fl. area (Orlando, Ocala, Jacksonville, Tampa,etc.). Yes I am back. Any old timers still around, like Suboxman, 12 stepper, cowgirl, Bikerman ?, or on and on. Appreciate any help and comments from your experience. I have insurance.
YES, I AM Sorry to say, I am back here & it seems like I never really left. Love & Peace Harry Hope you folks are doing well or on the road there -------------------- No matter what right you did or what wrong you didn't do: When you're the black sheep, all blame belongs to you | ||

Welcome back, Harry:
Get to some local NA/AA meetings and ask the oldtimers. Are you looking for a detox or a rehab?

Glad to see you made it back Harry. Hope you find what you are looking for.
No matter how many detoxes, rehabs we go through, nothing works until we stop fighting the fight. | ||

Hey guys, thanks for the quick answers. I need both. I found a place- Pt st lucie hospital. I've been there before...it's not the best, not the---but last time I went, it was real good for me, maybe even life saving.
I just got out of Shands at vista for detox. Because of my insurance I was released from detox after only 4 or 5 days. Pretty much my deal was leave sick or leave on suboxone. That was not my plan, cause I sure don't want to get stuck on this stuff after the hell I went thru getting off it. Anyway, I left on 8mg sub & got a script for 9 to 10 strips to detox myself. anyway, I got into their PHP program (partial hospitalization). It was a pretty good program. I went as a commuter because it was almost $1900.00 a month for housing there. The program was effective for me. I know living there would have been very benenficial. Basically it's a 3 or more month program & it turns out my insurance covers me for about 2 weeks. Anyway, I'm done & in a place of limbo. I know NA is a good program for many people,. I also know me, & at this point I need a little more than that. The first thing I need is to be chemical free, a good detox. I don't do well dealing with even partial withdrawals. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF REGARDING SUBOXONE: wHEN I AM ON IT I feel like I still have 1 foot in the door. I am 62, in OK health, and feel like I have some good years left. My eyes have been opened to the fact that I can live a good life, drug free. That is what I am after, God Bless, Love Harry -------------------- No matter what right you did or what wrong you didn't do: When you're the black sheep, all blame belongs to you | ||

Harry, I'm 70.
I've been clean/sober for nearly 26 yrs in AA/NA. You just have to friggin' DO IT ! Everything you need is in HOW IT WORKS. I didn't have a particularly good childhood but I did have a long one. I thought I'd try it God's way for a change .... I wish you the best.
