Dr. Steve Scanlan, MD

He got me to finally stop being a know it all. He got me to treat the main cause of my drug use which was my anxiety. I didn't want to take a SSRI but he explained how it would help me and which one was best for me. He got me to go to meetings where I learned how to deal with people and to eliminate my character defects. He detoxed me in a way that was comfortable and not scary. He is tough and expects you to be accountable and follow solutions. My way was not working anymore so he asked me to try a different way for six weeks and see what happens. He saved my life.

He takes the time to explain what your malady is and what is needed to get better. He is very passionate and even gives his cellphone to you while under his care for detox.

I would like to recommend, in the strongest possible terms, the services of Palm Beach Outpatient Detox, and the expertise of Dr. Steven Scanlon. In working with Dr. Scanlon, he counseled me on the extremely debilitating effects that the long term use of narcotic benzodiazepine drugs can have on the patient taking them. Having been prescribed Clonazapam by a medical professional for two years, to treat my anxiety issues, I would experience horrible withdrawal symptoms and was unsuccessful at several attempts to discontinue its usage. Dr. Scanlon’s methods, which take place on an outpatient basis, were extremely effective, to the point where I feel like my life has been given back to me. The field of mental health needs more professionals like Dr. Steven Scanlon, who understands that the use of benzodiazepine medications, anything beyond the short term, can have very detrimental long term consequences that far outweigh the benefits. Thank you, Dr. Scanlon!!!!!

After being an alcoholic for over 20 years, Dr. Scanlan made outpatient detox simple and easy. My health has returned, I have lost much of the weight I had gained. I am now attending AA meetings and have been sober for over 100 days. This is the best thing I ever did! Thank you!

They catered to my schedule. Do c even dealt with me on his vacation. There is no reason to not stop us I ng and this I s your guy....young or old! He is beyond great!!!!!

Dr Scanlan saved my life!! I honestly don't know where I would be without him. He is so knowledgeable, caring and supportive I highly recommend him!! Thank you Dr Scanlan!!

When I came to Dr. Scanlan I was addicted to several substances that were messing up my life big time. He is easy to talk to and really knows his stuff. After hearing my story he worked out a treatment plan that was eventually successful in getting my head straight and my life in order. I am very lucky to have found him and I recommend him to anyone who has problems similar to mine.

Dr. Scanlan has treated me for more than ten years and I am still SOBER today. I still check in with him every so often. He is without a doubt the best in the business and is worth every penny as sobriety has no price tag. He is knowledgeable, patient and understanding. He always takes as much time as necessary to explain and answer questions. My family and friends also thank Dr. Scanlan.

He is an amazing Doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Scanlan for out patient detox. He saved my life!
