WHAT IS DETOXIFICATION
FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP
Detoxification, commonly known as detox, involves removing drugs or alcohol from a person’s system. The goal of detox is to safely handle withdrawal symptoms when someone stops using these substances.
Each person’s detox experience is unique. The type of substance and the duration of its use influence what detox will be like. Medications used during detox help ensure that former users remain comfortable as the substances are eliminated from their bodies.
THE PROCESS
Evaluation
The medical team assesses incoming patients for both physical and mental health issues. Blood tests are conducted to measure drug levels in the patient’s system, which helps determine the appropriate medication dosage.
Stabilization
Following evaluation, the next step is to stabilize the patient. Medical and psychological therapies are employed to prevent harm. Additionally, doctors may prescribe addiction treatment medications to manage withdrawal symptoms.
Entry into Treatment
The final detox step involves preparing patients for a treatment program. Doctors educate them about the treatment process and what to expect. Inpatient rehab is recommended for the best chances of success after detox.
MANAGING WITHDRAWALS
UNDERSTANDING DETOX CHALLENGES
The difficulty of detox varies depending on the substances used. The nature of withdrawal symptoms can be either physical or mental, influenced by the specific drug.
For instance, withdrawal from cocaine is primarily psychological, focusing on managing cravings and anxiety. On the other hand, alcohol withdrawal can include severe physical symptoms, such as seizures or, in extreme cases, death.
Detox frequently involves using medications that replicate the effects of the drugs to ease withdrawal symptoms. These medications may also address concurrent disorders or general discomfort.
Alcohol and benzodiazepines are particularly hazardous to detox from and often require medical intervention. Opioids, especially heroin, are known for causing highly uncomfortable withdrawal experiences.
