Detoxification and Treatment Information. 1-855-201-2200.

The goal of drug and alcohol detox is to rid the body of toxins accumulated by drug abuse. The first step of drug detox is drug withdrawal, followed by rehab. The severity of the withdrawal symptoms vary greatly depending on the particular drug or drugs (including alcohol) that were being used as well as the frequency of use. These days there are few people who use one drug exclusively. It is very common to see individuals in drug detox that use alcohol and cocaine, or alcohol and prescription medications for example. Drug detox is a process that applies to any individual who is addicted to, and trying to stop using drugs. Detoxification helps diminish the physical craving for drugs, therapy and treatment will deal with psychological aspects of addiction.

Once these acute drug or alcohol issues have been assessed and identified during evaluation, they will be immediately treated until they have passed or the patient has been stabilized and made more comfortable.
