Detoxification is an essential step in the recovery process. This is where patients wean themselves off of the various substances they may have ingested. Detox is particularly crucial in aiding recovery for opiate, benzodiazepine, and alcohol addiction.
Without medical intervention, the detoxification process can be excruciatingly painful, sometimes also leading to death cases in certain instances, particularly if the substance abused is benzodiazepines or alcohol, which can cause seizures that may be fatal. Opiate withdrawal, on the other hand, usually is not fatal. However, it is notorious for most likely being the most uncomfortable detox. Amphetamines and other stimulants generally are not deadly as well however they have their level of discomfort associated with the detox process.
Patients can expect to experience different combinations of the following Flu-like symptoms, vomiting, muscle aches, bone aches, drowsiness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, Delirium tremens, hallucinations, and intense cravings during this process. Due to the many risks associated with detox, seeking medical help for the procedure is highly advisable.
