Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the initial step in getting off drugs. It permits a particular person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that quite a few addicts make is to think that detox is sufficient to kick their habit.

It is always recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
