T
he Novus Medical Detox Center was
founded in 2006 by a retired attorney who
had seen alcohol abuse plague his profes-
sion and a father who had felt the pain of having
two children battle addiction.It began with an
understanding that for most people dependent
on,or addicted to,drugs or alcohol,the most dif-
ficult barrier to sobriety was the fear of the pain,
sickness,and anxiety that was common in the
typical detox facility.Because of this,Novus took
on the mission of researching and developing the
most comfortable withdrawal and detox available
anywhere.Over the last 12 years,Novus has suc-
ceeded in creating unique proprietary methods
and specially compounded medicines that ensure
the safest,most effective,and most comfortable
detox obtainable.
Novus’first location was a 12-bed facility on three
acres in New Port Richey,Florida,which was expand-
ed to 31 beds and 13,000-plus square feet in 2014.
A second,18,000-plus-square-foot building with 41
beds,located in West Palm Beach,opened in 2017.Both
Novus facilities are located on secluded,wooded acres.
Each private or shared room has a bath and dedicated
telephone number for assured privacy.The rooms are
outfitted for work and relaxation and include a desk,

flat-screen TV,and a broad-
band connection for wire-
less internet access.
Novus’philosophy is to
treat each of its guests with
respect and dignity despite
the circumstances of their
detoxification.Its senior
leadership believes that pa-
tients are here to improve
themselves and should not
be treated as delinquents.This attitude stems
from its patient code of conduct-from its com-
prehensive intake procedure,to its world-class
detox procedure,to its nutrition/supplement pro-
tocol,to its friendly family like environment.
Novus develops individualized medical de-
tox programs specifically designed for each of
its patients,which means no recovery looks the
same.Its delicious food,nutritional IVs and sup-
plements,and specialized detox protocols are all
designed to quicken the healing process.Novus
understands that various addictions present a
number of issues for the human body,so it cre-
ates its IVs and diets to fit the needs of specific
withdrawal symptoms.This means that it pro-
vides all necessary medicines,vitamins,minerals,
amino acids,and proper hydration based on each
patient’s unique DNA and metabolic needs,which
also enhances the body’s health,strength,and
well-being.
