DRUGS & ALCOHOL DETOX Generally speaking, treatment starts with getting the substances out of the body. This process is known as detox (detoxification). Detox is critical for several seasons. First, having the drugs or alcohol in the body often causes a craving for more of it. This cycle of using and withdrawing is why people can’t just quit on their own. Additionally, while in a drug or alcohol induced state, a person is not fully prepared to participate in the educational and therapeutic process of rehab program, until the detox process is complete, someone is simply not ready for recovery. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve drugs and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and it helps to prepare the individual for entry into treatment and rehab program. Detox for alcohol and drugs must be done under medical supervision to insure this process is completed safely and painlessly. The time necessary for alcohol and drugs detox can be anywhere from 3 to 7 days.
