About Alcohol and Drugs Detoxification
Detoxification (or detox) is primarily the first step towards recovery. As part of a continuing therapy, the alcohol and drugs detox process works effectively to remove the substance painlessly from the system in a medically monitored environment. An alcohol and drug detox can be very dangerous and we do not encourage patients to attempt their own detox at home without close medical supervision. Once the individual has undergone a detox, they are ready to take the next vital step towards long-term rehabilitation.
Alcohol and drugs detox alone is unlikely to result in long-term recovery. This is because important psychological work must be completed to help the individual understand their addiction and develop strategies to avoid future relapse. Whilst detox is vital for many individuals, it is not always a necessary step in order to maintain a long-term recovery. In-patient rehab is the crucial element in the overall treatment process.
