When substance use is halted, there can be painful withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawals can begin as early as a few hours after the last use. It will often take a detox program to get through the painful withdrawal symptoms that substance abuse creates when this happens. During your detox withdrawal symptoms, it can benefit you to have the support of an addiction treatment center with 24-hour supervision.
At Arkview Recovery Center, our detox program is the first step in the long road to recovery and can give you a fighting chance at regaining control of your life. There is no reason to suffer through the painful withdrawal symptoms alone when there is help available. Call 717.744.0756 or complete our online form today to help you or a loved one struggling with addiction to learn more about our detox program benefits. Recovery is possible when you enroll in our detox program.
3 Benefits of a Detox Program
When it comes to detox program benefits, there are many reasons why it can be helpful to participate in a detox program. Some of these benefits include:
1. A Dedicated Medical Staff
Medical professionals are on-site 24 hours daily to monitor your progress and adjust your detox program as necessary. They will administer medication to help alleviate your symptoms and address any medical conditions that arise.
2. A Safe Environment
Many people will try to quit throughout their addiction. They may be able to deal with withdrawal symptoms early on but still face their triggers without proper coping skills. Because of this, they are more likely to relapse. In a residential detox program, you are safe from the triggers and stresses of daily life that may be fueling your addiction.
3. Better Chances at Recovery
By beginning your addiction recovery with a detox program, you give yourself the best chances to complete your addiction recovery and maintain your sobriety for life. A detox program gives you the reset you need to get through your withdrawal symptoms once and for all and focus on your recovery.
What to Expect from Detox Withdrawal Symptoms
The severity of withdrawal symptoms depends on how long you have abused drugs or alcohol and how much you consume. Early stages of addiction will have withdrawal symptoms that are minor and no worse than the flu. In comparison, long-term abuse will create such painful withdrawal symptoms that it is impossible to stop without help from a detox program.
Symptoms of alcohol detox withdrawal include:
- Shaking
- Confusion
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Hallucinations
Drug addiction withdrawals will have similar symptoms to alcohol withdrawal, plus:
- Muscle and bone aches
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
- Sensitivity to pain
- Trembling
