Detoxification
Overview
What you need to know about Detox:
- Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms: In severe cases, alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening
- Suboxone: A newer alternative to methadone, Suboxone is a medication that allows opiate addicts to break free from illicit drug use without experiencing initial withdrawal symptoms
- Detox is Not a Cure: Too many people make it through a difficult detox period and think they’ve beaten their addiction. Detox is not a cure – it is merely the first stage in the recovery process, and those that leave treatment after detox only are almost certainly doomed to relapse.
