Private Detox
Private Detox – Dr Harry
What is Detox?
When someone battling substance abuse decides to stop using, they will enter into a phase called detox. People who stop using drugs or alcohol are in the process of removing poisons from their body. The term detox refers to the period of time in which the body metabolizes and uses up the drugs or alcohol in its system, and it is the first step on the road to recovery.
Although it is a smart and positive decision, undergoing detox can actually be extremely dangerous. When a person has become dependent on drugs or alcohol, their body develops a need for the substance in order to function. When a person decides to abstain from their addiction, their body will fight it, going into withdrawal. Withdrawal from drugs or alcohol can be extremely dangerous (and even fatal) if not medically supervised, causing symptoms such as:
- Anxiety and depression
- Insomnia
- Racing heart
- Changes in blood pressure
- Chest tightness and trouble breathing
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Hallucinations
- Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
Staying Safe
Because their body is so dependent on the substance, detoxification must be undergone in a safe environment that will not put the person in danger. Medically supervised detox is available at many treatment centers and hospitals. Standard detox usually requires shared rooms, mandatory group meetings, and extended time away from home. And while these detox experiences may be beneficial, they are not for everyone.
If you or someone you love wants to quit using drugs or alcohol but needs a unique treatment experience, you may want to consider private detox.
