Alcohol Detox and Drug Detox
Drug or alcohol detox can be potentially harmful. Detox from alcohol and/or a drug needs to be done under medical supervision only. Never try to detox from alcohol or a drug without professional medical assistance. Detox, short for detoxification, is the first step in rehabilitation and treatment of drug addiction and/or alcohol abuse. The term detox refers to the detoxification of the residual toxins left in the human body as a result of taking drug(s) and/or alcohol. Alcohol and drug detox, from a medical prospective, is the process of medically managing the body’s physical withdrawal from alcohol or drug(s) to minimize the possible side effects and help prevent potentially harmful consequences. There are a variety of methods for the actual medical process of alcohol and drug detox.
Over time, drinking alcohol or using a drug eventually causes a physical dependence. The actual stopping of drinking alcohol or using drugs, results in what is known as withdrawal. Detox (withdrawal) without medical supervision and assistance is potentially very dangerous and should not be attempted. Alcohol and or drug detox can result is severe consequences, such as a seizure, nausea, hallucinations, high blood pressure and anxiety.
Detox is the first step of rehab and treatment. As long as there is alcohol or drugs in a person’s body and as the body goes into withdrawal the result is a craving for more alcohol or the drug substance. Also, until a person is mentally and physically stabilized, they are not prepared to participate in a treatment program. Most treatment centers have there own detox facilities. Others have affiliations with detox programs for their patients to use. There are licensed detox facilities in most areas of the United States. Some are hospitals or clinics. Detox can sometimes be done on an outpatient basis under a doctor’s care. For most people, detox is best accomplished on an inpatient basis.
