Novus Medical Detox Center
At Harper Therapy, we want to share community connections that can help improve your health and well-being. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Novus Medical Detox Center and wanted to share this resource if you or someone you love is looking for detox services.
Novus Medical Detox Center's Tampa Bay location is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The first thing I noticed when I pulled onto the property was its serene setting. In fact, as I walked through the facility, I could see why Novus describes its services as "spa-like", with water fountains, essential oils, and a lush outside area for patients to walk around and breathe fresh air. Additionally, there is a gym and space for people to explore creative outlets like music and art.
In addition to its calming environment, Novus offers top-notch services from a top-notch staff. Care is individualized and respectful. Patients are medically monitored as their bodies adjust to no longer ingesting substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, opiates/opioids, with high success in helping people with methadone detox. Because detoxing from these substances can be life-threatening, continuous medical monitoring is available.
A big part of what makes Novus different from other facilities is their holistic approach to treatment. In addition to traditional medications used for detox, patients are offered dietary supplements to help ease their withdrawal symptoms. IVs offer much needed hydration and nutrients. And the facility and its staff focus on making sure patients have a foundation of good hydration, nutrition, and sleep as the go through their detox and beyond, as they begin their life of sobriety.
Sometimes, the bravest action a person can take is to reach out for help. For many people, addition and dependence on a drug or alcohol starts innocently enough -- a prescription for pain medication after a surgery that you take as directed, until it's no longer working as effectively. So you add a night cap on top of it. Then some sleeping pills. And all of it helps to "take the edge off" the intensity of the emotions and trauma that are swirling around. Find out how Novus Medical Detox Center can help with detox and then call Harper Therapy to work through memories and tough emotions.
