What exactly is medical detox?

Detoxification of either alcohol or drugs is the process of ridding one’s body of the substance residues and toxins that have built up in your body during your substance abuse, addiction, and dependency. In the case of medical detox, the purification of the individual’s body is done by administering certain medications to accomplish this. The type of medications that are administered will depend on the individual’s withdrawal symptoms that they experience during detox and whether or not their system will not react negatively to it.

For instance, the heroin addict is typically administered buprenorphine or methadone which is typically referred to as buprenorphine or methadone maintenance. In addition to these two medications, the following drugs are used for medical detox of alcohol and drug abuse, addiction, or dependency:

Usually, the client will be administered the medication during the detoxification stage while gradually reducing the dosage until they have overcome their addiction and are ready to enter the counseling stage of recovery. Additionally, medications may also be administered if ease bone and muscle pain if you get achy, help subside your nausea should you get sick to your stomach, and help you fall asleep if you have insomnia.

Facts regarding medical detox

The length of the medical detox process will usually vary depending on the depth and severity of the individual’s addiction to alcohol or drugs. It will also vary based on their personality and physiology. Typically, the average length of time that medical detox lasts will be 4 or 5 days up to a couple of weeks. During this period of time, the withdrawal symptoms will usually peak by the 4th day.

As was mentioned above, with detox, whether it is medical or not, there will be certain withdrawal symptoms that the client will have to deal with. The most common of these withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, depression, and insomnia. However, there can be hallucinations, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, sweating, and tremors. Although they will eventually subside, there will be the strong cravings for alcohol or drugs during this time as well. Finally, these withdrawal symptoms will range from mild to severe.

Medical detox is usually the first stage of the in-patient addiction treatment and recovery program. The benefit to this is that this continuity of care is experienced from the very beginning of the addiction rehab program and continues right up until the end and the person is ready to return home to their community. In addition to this, there will be comfort in knowing that the Drug Detox Florida facility will provide you with a skilled and highly experienced team of medical professionals.

Keep in mind that the detox and withdrawal stage is always the most unpleasant stage of the three that most addiction treatment and recovery programs are comprised of. The other two are group and individual counseling sessions (second stage) along with aftercare programs and support groups. Our medical detox helps the individual overcome their emotional and physical difficulties that they experience. For the client, this can make them feel defeated in their efforts as well as being extremely frustrating.
