Get in Touch TodayTo recover from drug addiction, before you begin rehab and psychological rehabilitation, you will likely go through a medically assisted drug detox.
Find out here what this is and how we can help you find the right detox clinic for you below.
Why Detox Is Necessary in Drug Recovery
Drug detoxing is necessary because while the drugs are still in the bodily system, those suffering from addiction will struggle to combat the psychological part of the addiction fully.
Without addressing the physical and mental aspects of drug addiction, there will be little room for success in sustaining a clean lifestyle overall and for good. That being said, it is important that physically, you are in the right shape to undergo intensive rehab which will set you up for a sober future once you’re finished with treatment.
Detox is also necessary for safety reasons. Whether it is you, or somebody else that you know that is suffering from drug addiction, it is crucial that you undergo detox in a controlled facility so that you’re in safe hands should anything go wrong.
Drug detoxification is dangerous when unsupervised, the rapid transition from taking drugs regularly to taking none at all (AKA. cold turkey) can be detrimental to health and even potentially fatal.
It is important that you either tell somebody close to you or consult professional help when choosing to do a drug detox, but preferably, undergoing this process in residential rehab would be the best option.
This is because you can’t relapse when the going gets tough, as staff are there to help you overcome these tough times and can provide you with medication to control withdrawals. With our help, we can find you a drug detox clinic and rehab that can see you on your way to a better, sober you.
What Are Drug Withdrawal Symptoms Like?
Drug withdrawal is an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms that can vary dramatically in what they are and how severe they can be; they’re felt during a drug detox but can be controlled with the right medication.
This can be intimidating for anybody trying to drug detox, but preparing by knowing what to expect could ease the fear of the unknown. The first thing to know is that different drug addictions present various withdrawal symptoms, so while you may experience some of these symptoms, you also may not. It is subjective to each individual’s addiction severity and the drugs being used.
Nonetheless, these are some common drug withdrawal symptoms during detox:
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Shakes & Sweats
- Paranoia
- Anxiety
- Cravings (for drugs)
- Bone or joint pain
- Stomach and digestive issues
The list can be lengthy, and it is no secret that the initial withdrawal period is unpleasant, but coping with it can become more manageable when you have the proper assistance and support around you.

What Are the Drug Detox & Rehab Options?
When you talk to us about recovering from drug addiction, there are some options. You can choose whether to detox alone, detox and rehab, or rehab alone.
This is what you can expect from each option, and remember, we are able to offer you a range of choices when it comes to the facility and location of which you would like to detox for drug addiction from.
Detox Only: This method involves a rapid drug detox in rehab for up to a week, following a medically assessed detox programme tailored to your drug addiction. After this, most people leave rehab without following the entire rehabilitation programme.
Drugs Detoxification & Rehabilitation: This method is what we would recommend, as it is a more effective method with a more lengthy process to work on yourself with the help of a treatment plan from a residential rehab. This can last anywhere from from 1 week to 28 days or more if necessary.
A patient typically follows a detox under medical supervision before starting rehabilitation therapy to help tackle the emotional and psychological issues related to the drug addiction.
Rehab Only: Finally, there is the approach of rehab without the option of detoxification. This is sometimes necessary for those who don’t require detox. If this is something that you feel is more suited to you, then find out more about drug detox here.
