Detoxing from prescription drugs can be challenging and unfamiliar to those who’ve been abusing them, but it is an absolutely necessary part of treatment. At Valley Recovery Center, we have a real understanding of the challenges that come with detoxing, and we strive to provide our patients with the supervision and care necessary for a healthy detox that encourages them to continue with their recovery.
Over time, abusing prescription drugs causes harmful toxins to accumulate in the body. These toxins change the body’s chemistry and contribute to the dependence you feel. When you stop using, your body will react negatively to the change and cause you to begin craving the substance you were abusing. In order to truly recover from your addiction, you must rid your body of these toxins and allow it to adjust to life without drugs.
The process of withdrawal has many effects on the body, potentially including symptoms like seizures, nausea, tremors, and feelings of anxiety or depression. These effects can be life threatening, which is why it is so important that your detox is done under the care of experienced professionals. Furthermore, those who attempt to detox on their own often return to drugs when they are confronted with the effects of withdrawal.
Valley Recovery Center has the tools to manage your detox safely and to minimize your suffering, and we also provide a supportive environment that will give you strength during this difficult process. We know that a thorough detox is a vital part of treatment, and we will make sure that you have the care you need to continue along the road to recovery. Detoxing is tough, but we will be right by your side the entire time and long after.
