Drug Detoxification

DETOXIFICATION

The purpose of drug detox is fourfold: (1) to manage withdrawal symptoms, (2) purge chemical substances, (3) recuperate the body and (4) return the brain to normal function.

Why Do You Need Detox?

Withdrawal should always be avoided, because the longer a person uses drugs or alcohol, the longer it may take to safely detoxify. Those individuals who attempt to quit on their own often have a hard time managing withdrawal syndrome.

Sometimes a man or woman may want to deal with a range of personal problems during detoxification treatment. As a rule, men and women who are detoxing are not in the best state of mind to solve significant life problems. They should be persuaded to defer all problem-solving until later. The best thing to do is acknowledge that he or she has important issues to work through, but explain that it is best to take one step at a time, and reassure him or her that there will be plenty of opportunities to handle these issues at a later date. Another issue to look out for are those men and women with a limited ability to concentrate. They may have difficulty absorbing information, so the information may have to be repeated, or even re-worded, to be fully understood and retained. Some people may be irritable, agitated and exhausted; they may experience mood swings or have poor sleep patterns. We go to great lengths to keep communications clear, and positive. We know that good communication between staff and client fosters trust and collaboration. It’s also important to understand that detox is the first step in a person’s recovery, but detox is not treatment. That is why it is important to follow up detox with a recovery program.

Medical Detox

The human brain carefully coordinates the activity of billions of neurons throughout the body. When the brain is exposed to chemicals, such as alcohol, opiates and benzodiazepines, normal brain function is overridden and functioning is altered. When a person uses drugs occasionally, their brain is able to return to normal function soon after they stop. But, if someone repeatedly consumes drugs, their brain is forced into a constant state of imbalance.

If a brain is constantly out of balance it works to restore that balance. It does so by making neurological adjustments that improve necessary functions such as respiration and blood pressure. These adjustments can sometimes cause other health problems, such as physical dependence. Physical dependence means an individual is susceptible to withdrawal symptoms whenever he or she stops drinking or using. Dependence occurs because the brain has adapted to the constant presence of drugs.

If you are addicted to opiates, alcohol or benzodiazepines and abruptly stop, you’re going to feel sick – to greater or lessor degree. Unfortunately, when some individuals stop they experience acute withdrawal symptoms. This group can never safely detox without professional help. If you’re in the throws of withdrawal and you feel things like – nausea, low energy, headaches, irritability, body aches and food intolerances you probably need to check yourself into a professional medical detox center.
