Detoxification and Withdrawal of the Drug Rehabilitation Process

The addict must first go through withdrawal before starting any drug rehab program to remove any effects that the drug immediately has on the individual.

This process is done in a hospital-type setting where the individual is gradually stepped down from their current level of drug intake to nothing at all, which reduces the risk of having a seizure and greatly relieves the potentially heavy withdrawal symptoms.

For those withdrawing from other kinds of drugs and even lesser amounts of opiates, a drug-free detox procedure is used in a more social setting. Here the primary focus is to get individuals back to the point where they are not feeling the immediate effects of being under the influence of alcohol or other drugs and are able to function with minimal physical or mental discomfort.

Since our bodies need good rest and nutrition in order to be healthy, and drugs and other toxins rob us of those essential elements, the detoxification and withdrawal stage of the program focuses on helping to replenish those lost nutrients and hours of sleep so that you are feeling much better.

Additional relaxation techniques are used to help you through this process, which may include taking walks and receiving light-touch sensation to ease the discomfort and help your body begin to heal faster.

This holistic approach to withdrawal and detoxification is not like quitting something suddenly with no help. The procedures and supplements used in this process, along with our trained supervisory staff, create a much more comfortable environment and soothing situation compared to other types of detox.
