What is Addiction?

Drug and alcohol addiction usually happens gradually.  Over time, an individual starts using a substance more frequently and they eventually become more dependent upon it. Eventually, their body becomes so accustomed to the substance that they both physically and psychologically depend upon it for survival. 

What is Detox?

Usually, the individual’s first step toward recovery is deciding they need help.  Sometimes, recovery begins with detoxification or detox.  When the addicted individual stops using the substance to which they’re addicted, their body experiences withdrawal.  Detox is the process of supervising and caring for them while the substances leave their body. 

How Long Does Detox Take?

Detox length and severity varies depending on the type of substance to which the individual was addicted, the level of abuse, and the person’s unique nature.  Generally, detox ranges from several days to two weeks. 

When symptoms begin it depends on when the person last used substances, so it could be as early as a couple hours or even a few days and there are physical, as well as emotional symptoms, too. 

What Happens During Detox

When the body is denied what it wants, it directs physical signals to the individual to make them aware.  When we’re hungry, our stomach growls, and when we’re dehydrated, we get thirsty.  For people with addictions, their body sends nasty withdrawal symptoms, which include:

•    heightened pain sensation
•    irritability
•    emotional volatility
•    nervousness
•    vomiting
•    diarrhea
•    rashes
•    depression
•    agitation
•    insomnia
•    sweating
•    weakness
•    cravings
•    headaches and body aches
•    increased or lack of appetite
•    suicidal thoughts
•    uncontrollable shaking
