What is medical detox?
Medical detox is a process that involves the use of medication to safely manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings during the initial stages of recovery. It is an important step for individuals looking to break free from substance abuse, as withdrawal symptoms can be severe and even life-threatening.
Medical detox provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to overcome physical dependence on drugs or alcohol and it can also help to reduce the risk of relapse. Because of this increased risk, patients are most closely monitored to ensure first-rate health and safety care
What are the symptoms and duration of withdrawal?
Withdrawal symptoms can be challenging to manage. These symptoms vary from person to person based on the type of drugs and alcohol consumed, as well as the frequency and length of the addiction. During medical detox, the body works to clear toxins that have caused a physical dependency. This, however, can be a difficult and uncomfortable process.
To ensure the cessation of drugs and alcohol is done safely, it’s highly recommended to complete detox under the 24-hour supervision of a licensed medical professional. Remember, with the right support and medical care, it is possible to overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery.

Inpatient rehab: the next step
After completing detox, the next step towards recovery is inpatient rehab. It’s common for patients to feel tempted to go home after detox, as they may feel significantly better. However, this could lead to a high risk of relapse.
Detox only treats the physical dependency on a substance, and not the root cause of substance abuse. To truly achieve recovery, it’s essential to address the underlying issues and triggers that led to substance abuse in the first place. Therefore, transitioning to the next step of the recovery process is a must for long-term success.
