PBOD Intake Process

Overview:

Medical detoxification starts at Palm Beach Outpatient Detox (P.B.O.D) and most clients can begin at home detox within hours after contacting us. Dr. Steven Scanlan takes a very personalized approach to our detoxification programs.

We offer several types of detox formats which include opiate detoxification programs utilizing buprenorphine (subutex®/suboxone®) to manage opiate withdrawal symptoms. Buprenorphine is a synthetic opiate agonist medication that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of opiate addiction. It enables Dr. Scanlan to offer a detoxification protocol for heroin addiction, methadone, oxycontin (oxycodone), vicodin (hydrocodone) and other similar narcotics which minimize the discomfort normally associated with detoxing from these highly addictive substances. The client can continue to work and carry on activities of daily living without major or significant impairment. Dr. Scanlan is a Certified Suboxone Provider. Other programs include outpatient detox from alcohol and benzodiazepines. 

During our prescreening procedure, we will help you to select the best recovery program based on your medical history, history of addiction and personality type.
