What is Drug and Alcohol Detox?
The critical first step in overcoming alcohol addiction is medical detox. Detox, or detoxification, is the process of breaking the physical bonds of addiction. It encompasses both the mental and physical aspects of addiction, which can be equally strong and challenging to overcome. At Ascend, our meticulously designed program ensures a safe environment to go through the detox process while addressing both the medical and emotional challenges associated with drug and alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms can significantly impact an individual’s well-being, affecting decision-making abilities and overall comfort.
The specific withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox vary depending on the substance involved. They may include nausea, anxiety, muscle cramps, irritability, hallucinations, and insomnia. The duration of the detox process also depends on factors such as the type and duration of substance use. We monitor patients while going through medical detox to ensure they are safe.
