medical detox
Medical detox is drug treatment that uses prescription drugs and other medical procedures to help alleviate the withdrawal effects from the excessive use of alcohol and drugs. Some withdrawal symptoms include sweats, tremors, and hallucinations. With this in mind a medical withdrawal needs to be undergone with the supervision of a doctor and qualified medical staff.
Although patients will depart a medical detox facility feeling in better health than they have since they started their substance abuse, it is advices that the client moves on from detox to further addiction treatment to prevent relapse.
Medical detox is a first necessary step which prepares a person for addiction treatment. Medical detox alone is not addiction treatment and offers very little guarantee of continuing sobriety. A detox or medical detox process should always be followed by instantaneous admission into a residential or outpatient addiction treatment program.
