Drug detox is an absolutely necessary part of treatment for many of the patients we see here at Valley Recovery Center. The toxins that accumulate in an addict’s body over time can do tremendous harm and can hinder the recovery process. Withdrawal and other side effects from ceasing drug abuse can be challenging and even life threatening, so it is vital that you detox under the supervision and care of experienced professionals. The team here at Valley Recovery Center specializes in providing our patients with both the medical expertise necessary for safe detoxing and a supportive environment where their suffering will be managed.
Ridding the body of the harmful toxins that have built up over time is a crucial first step in the recovery process. The body chemistry of addicts is altered by the drugs, and they have grown dependent upon the substance they’ve abused. When their bodies are deprived of the drug, they will react and begin to experience cravings. This leads many addicts to relapse, and a thorough, safe detoxing is the best way to prevent that and to put our patients in the best position to recover.
Many people considering recovery are intimidated by the effects of withdrawal and detoxing, and this can be a reason they avoid treatment. It’s very important that you know that recovery is absolutely something you can achieve. At Valley Recovery Center, we will provide you with not only the care necessary to detox, we will also offer you a supportive environment that will help you throughout the detox process and long after. We will be by your side every step of the way, and we are committed to helping you achieve lasting recovery.
Another major obstacle to recovery is dealing with the temptation to drink, especially during difficult times. It is at these times that a support system is crucial. Having the support and tools necessary to handle the urge to drink is something we really focus on at Valley Recovery Center. And we know that the biggest challenges our patients face occur when they leave us, so we provide a number of aftercare services to give them a place to turn to when they need it most.
