Safe Withdrawal via Medical Detox
Some addictions will require a person to go to a medical detox clinic before entering a rehab program. This is due to the fact that the withdrawals from the particular type of drug they have an addiction to can make them physically ill and lead to severe withdrawal symtpoms, including death. A common addiction that can lead to this is alcoholism. It is important to know the facts about detox and what a person may experience while going through a medical detox. It is highly advised that if possible you go to a detox center and don’t try to detox on your own. It is best to be supervised by trained professionals in case and medical problems should occur.
Drug Detox: What to Expect
It is important to us to be transparent about the topic of detox. It will not be an easy process. A person will likely experience many different side effects from their drug use. These side effects may be emotional, physical, or mental. Someone in withdrawal will likely experience many uncomfortable feelings and negative thoughts about life during the process of detox. Unfortunately for those with a physical dependancy, detox is an unavoidable first step to recovery. The benefits of a medical drug detox are the most freeing and valuable part. Here are some:
Less Stress For Loved Ones
You loved ones will surely appreciate the fact that you have decided to get help and are now detoxing. This will let them sleep better at night and not wake up to the constant fear that they are going to lose you.

Check out the statistics; almost 12 percent of young Americans aged 18 years old are now addicted to illicit drugs and approximately 27 million Americans use illicit drugs regularly. Results of the 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse and Addiction revealed that while millions of Americans habitually smoke pot, drink alcohol, snort cocaine, and swallow prescription drugs, many drug users do not recognize that they have a drug addiction problem. The figure of those in denial about their drug addiction is estimated at more than 4.6 million.
