Rehab Detox
Drug detox, short for drug detoxification, is only the first step in achieving lifelong abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Most people, due to the length and severity of use, develop a physical and psychological dependency on their drug of choice (including alcohol).
When you abruptly discontinue use, you will begin to experience the onset of symptoms associated with withdrawal. These initial symptoms may include sweats, cramping, constipation and anxiety or can be as medically complex as seizures, convulsions and delirium tremors. Once addicted, the risks associated with suddenly discontinuing drug or alcohol use are just too great to be done without medical supervision.
