What is Detox?
The first step in fighting addiction is detox, and then joining a treatment plan. Detox is the process of ridding the body of alcohol or drugs.
This is best done in a professional detox setting since withdrawal and detox can be extremely dangerous. Seizures, nausea, rapid heart rate, tremors and other symptoms are actually common when the body is no longer getting the drugs that it is addicted to.
Some detox centers use medication to make the detox process safer and easier. Gradually they may reduce the addictive substance until it’s completely withdrawn.
Detox is not rehab! Detox is the step you take before the rehabilitation, and before continuing with a treatment plan.
