subject: Drug Detox With Addicts From All Walks Of Life [print this page] Drug Detox is a very good option for those who are suffering with drug addictions or has any drug related issues. It is highly recommended for anyone who wants to kick their drug addiction once and for all. Drug addicts can come from all walks of life. They can be a homeless person to your white collar worker or housewife and husband. Not everyone is addicted to illegal substances, they are many many thousands of people who have a problem with prescribed medication which have addiction side-effects.
There are many rehabilitation centres for drug detox and many go on to offer a structured treatment programme once you have had a safe drug detox. Most treatment centres are residential and offer anything from a 28 day stay to 3 months. These offer a drug detox plan initially followed by a treatment programme, should you wish to go down this route.
You will undergo an initial assessment which will look at your drug addiction history. We will look at the length of time you have been using drugs, which drugs they are and how often you are using them. This will help us to design a tailor made drug detox based purely around your own individual needs.
It can be highly dangerous to attempt a drug detox on your own and we would never recommend you doing so. Drug detox can have serious consequences and in some severe cases, can result in fatal consequences. You must have medical supervision and help by professional and highly qualified/trained staff. There are many unpleasant side-effects to drug detox if not carried out in the safest way.
All our rehabilitation centres and drug detox plans will be medically supervised and you may be prescribed medication that will help you to undergo drug detox safely and comfortably. Side effects of a drug detox can be risky and such side effects can be vomiting, shakes, hallucinations and in some severe cases can be fatal.
All our medical staff and qualified professionals will help to assist you on an drug detox which will provide immediate care and supervision as well as emotional, psychological and physical support. You can expect 24hrs round the clock care whilst undergoing a drug detox plan.
A drug detox programme usually lasts 8 upto 14 days and is recommended to be conducted whilst in residential care. These are highly recommended as withdrawing from drugs is just one stage and for most addicts there is a need to address many underlying issues which help contribute to your drug addiction problems.
At all our drug detox centres, most of our staff are either ex-addicts or have first hand personal knowledge of the devastating effect drug addiction can have on an individual and those around them. You will be given all the help and support you will need.
