FAQs

Home visits are available for patients who need more flexibility with their scheduling. This means if getting to the clinic is hard for you—maybe because of work, transportation, or personal reasons—you can still get medical addiction treatment, detox support, and follow-up care at home. A licensed medical professional will come to your location and help set up your treatment plan so you get care in a private, comfortable setting. This service is especially helpful for people who want a discreet, personalized approach while still getting expert, supervised addiction care.
Private, concierge-style care is available, offering flexible options for people who need extra privacy or convenience. You can choose to come into the office for treatment, or set up home visits if that works better for you. This approach makes it easier to fit your treatment into your life, and care plans are always personalized to what you need. Confidentiality and respect are taken seriously, no matter which option you pick.
After the initial intake assessment, the doctor takes time to get to know you—understanding your medical history, substance use, mental health, and the bigger picture of what you’re dealing with. Using this information, a personalized treatment plan is made to fit your exact needs. This usually combines medication (like buprenorphine if needed) to help with cravings and withdrawal, plus therapy and counseling designed around what’s best for you. Sometimes extra options like group sessions, exercise, acupuncture, or family meetings are added if they fit your goals. The plan isn’t one-size-fits-all; it changes as you make progress or if you hit any roadblocks, so you always get support that works for your life and recovery.
The intensive outpatient program includes structured therapy sessions three to five times a week. Each week, this means you’ll have individual counseling, group therapy, and sometimes family sessions. Support like case management is also provided to help with any practical or emotional needs you might have. The overall goal is to help you work through the mental, physical, and lifestyle challenges of addiction while still giving you flexibility to live at home or keep up with daily responsibilities. Every plan is custom, so you get what fits your specific situation best.
Withdrawal management starts with a thorough intake and assessment to understand your individual needs and medical history. In outpatient treatment, you're given buprenorphine as part of a plan to help ease cravings and reduce withdrawal symptoms safely, all under medical supervision. The medication is combined with naloxone to help prevent misuse. You’ll have regular check-ins, and your dosage or plan might change as you progress, making sure your care stays personalized. Along with medication, you get support through counseling, therapy sessions, and education to help with long-term recovery and maintenance. This mix of medical and therapeutic support is designed to help you get through withdrawal comfortably and stay on track after detox.
Yes, alcohol treatment programs here include both medically supervised detox and counseling. Detox is handled by a medical doctor to help manage withdrawal symptoms safely and as comfortably as possible. After detox, ongoing treatment can include both individual and group counseling. These sessions are designed to help you understand your triggers, learn coping skills, and support your long-term recovery. The whole approach is personalized based on your needs with options for different levels of support.
A medical addiction treatment clinic can provide outpatient detox along with counseling and holistic therapies like acupuncture or equine therapy. With outpatient detox, you don't stay overnight at a facility—instead, you visit for regular sessions while still living at home. These clinics aim to support recovery by mixing medical care, therapy, and non-traditional treatments, like group or individual counseling, acupuncture, exercise programs, and sometimes equine therapy. This approach helps treat both the physical and emotional sides of addiction, making it more likely that people get the support that fits their unique needs.
To get started, you can call Dr. Gittens directly at (561) 337-3351 or use the toll-free number 1 (833) 448-8367. If you prefer, there’s also an option on the website to request a call back or sign up for a free newsletter. Once you reach out, you’ll go through a private intake process where Dr. Gittens gets to know your situation and what you’re needing help with. He’ll do a full evaluation—looking at your medical history, any substance use, and your personal goals—to create a treatment plan that fits you. Everything is confidential, and the treatment can be scheduled as office visits or at-home sessions, depending on your needs.
Treatment is kept fully confidential, and privacy is a top priority. Your records are protected by strict laws, including HIPAA, which means your info can only be shared with people you give permission to, or when legally required. Usually, only your main doctor and some clinic staff directly involved in your care will see your records. Family members or employers won’t have access without your written consent. Everything discussed and documented—whether in the office or during home visits—stays private.
Holistic therapies offered alongside traditional addiction treatment here include options like acupuncture, equine therapy, IV therapy, and specialized exercise programs. These therapies are used as part of a custom recovery plan to help support both your physical and mental health as you work on overcoming alcohol addiction. By adding these types of therapies, patients can address stress, build healthy routines, and improve overall well-being alongside their medical care and counseling.
