| Drug and Alcohol Detoxification
Treatment |
After threatening drug addiction, when an individual tends to seek
professional health for a bright future, then foremost step in the
treatment process is Detoxification from drugs and alcohol.
Detoxification leads towards a better recovery from drug addiction
and alcoholism. Guidance of an expert medical and clinical staff, a
safe, supportive environment, and an introduction to the principles
of recovery are the keys to a successful and comfortable detox,
which enables the drug abuser to give up any type of chemical
dependency and get back to the normal routine life.
Symptoms of Drug Withdrawal
The signs and symptoms of drug withdrawal are usually the reverse of
the direct pharmacological effects of the drug. The patient may
experience enormous physical, mental or emotional troubles leading
an uncomfortable detox process. The symptoms like an unpleasant
mood, pain, anxiety, and sometimes over activity of the large
intestine, etc. may be observed. The most severe drug-withdrawal
symptoms, during the initial stages of detoxification, constitute
the acute abstinence syndrome.
Stages for Drug Detoxification
Drug
and alcohol detoxification can be offered in three separate
stages:
1.Medical Detoxification: It requires a medical doctor to supervise
the patient’s withdrawal from drugs, while ensuring to complete this
phase safely with minimal complications.
2. Physical Detoxification: After withdrawal from drugs, it is
important to repair the harmful effects done to your body. So, the
next step is to build up your physical health. This phase would
require a nutritionist, who will guide you to develop a balanced
diet in order to help you throughout the detox process.
3. Emotional Detoxification: This is an important step in the whole
process of Detox, as drug dependency emotionally breaks the abuser
into pieces and affects his/ her emotional health. With the help of
a trained and professional counselor and therapist, the person can
revive his/ her inner strength to face the bitter phases of life.
