We know that when alcohol detox is initiated and managed by doctors and nurses there are much fewer incidents of medical emergencies and clients are considerably more comfortable. We also know that when conducted improperly, alone at home or by someone who is not trained, there can be life threatening withdrawal symptoms like seizure, tremor, or death. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms include nausea, depression, anxiety, disorientation, and extreme fatigue. The Encino Recovery and Detox Center provides the most effective, safe, and comfortable detox available.
Substance use disorders leads to physiological and often psychological dependence when a person needs more of a substance to achieve a desired result. Over time, addiction takes hold and changes into an exhausting, seemingly never ending personal ‘hell’. Depriving the brain of what it biologically and psychologically craves leads to symptoms such as muscle and body pain, confusion, vomiting, insomnia, intense cravings, sweating, depression, cold flashes, intense fear, panic, and anxiety.
There are general guidelines which have been established by the medical profession to provide a level of care needed to safely manage the detoxification process.
The detoxification process (detox) is a biological, physiological, psychological and physical process that occurs when the mind and body are cleansed of toxins. Detoxification is a process that occurs mainly through the liver as a person’s system naturally eliminates a number of waste products, foreign substances, and other materials.
Withdrawal is one aspect of physical dependence that occurs when a person has chronically used some drug and the mind and body has adjusted to having a specific level of the drug in the system, and the system stabilizes itself to function in the presence of the drug.
The normal detoxification process removes the drug from the system. If the individual does not continue the drug or alcohol consumption, their system is thrown out of balance. As a result, the person experiences a number of unpleasant physical and emotional consequences. If the person takes the drug again, the withdrawal symptoms will often extinguish very quickly. Treatment in a detox is the most effective and safest way to rid the body of toxins and remain sober without needing to use again.
The withdrawal management process refers to both medical and psychological interventions applied to individuals recovering from substance use disorders who experience withdrawal symptoms (for those who have developed physical and psychological dependence on a drug or drugs).
Detox Symptoms Management A person who has been drinking or using drugs heavily for a prolonged period of time, who suddenly stops or greatly reduces the amount of their intake, may experience intense pain and discomfort, for a short period, during this phase of treatment.
