What is Detox?

When a person abuses alcohol, prescription medications or illicit drugs they can develop a psychological as well as a physical dependence. Psychological dependence is just another term for addiction, which is defined by craving, seeking and compulsive using behaviors. On the other hand, physical dependence is a biological condition characterized by development of withdrawal syndrome, over time, following a period of cessation. It is the condition of physical dependence that requires a detoxification program.

The interim goal of detox is to avoid initiating withdrawal syndrome, while the ultimate goal is to overcome physical dependence. Our detoxification program uses a multifaceted approach that counteracts withdrawal’s disruptive effects on both the brain and body. Ask us about our Couple’s Detoxification Program.

What is withdrawal?

Withdrawal is a cluster of symptoms that occur shortly after cessation. Withdrawal symptoms typically vary by the type of chemical substance used, dosage, frequency and duration of use, and the individual’s general health. Severe withdrawal is typically treated with medications, vitamins, electrolytes and rest.
