Do I Need a Drug Detox Center?

It’s likely you, or a loved one is wrestling with drugs right now and going through some pain they don’t need to be. Whichever it is, we’ve been where you are, and we know what to do. A safe and comfortable drug detox is a must-have if you are serious about getting drug-free and staying that way. There are a few reasons for this.

The first is the potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms experienced during detox. This is especially true for those struggling with opioids, alcohol, and benzos. Next, successful sobriety requires a lifestyle change and an understanding of triggers and underlying issues, like trauma and mental health problems.

Can you quit drugs without doing any work on yourself? Sure, maybe. For a while, anyway.  But the research shows your odds of long-term recovery are much better if you get to do at least 30-90 days’ worth of drug treatment at a solid rehab like Transformations Care.

Medically Assisted Detox

Medically assisted detox is something you’ll only find at a drug rehab center. Similar to medication-assisted treatment, medication-assisted detox is when medications are used during detoxification to help combat unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

Common medications used for opioid withdrawal include:

• Methadone
• Buprenorphine
• Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)
• Antidepressants

Common medications used for alcohol withdrawal include:

• Acamprosate
• Disulfiram
• Naltrexone

In addition to medications, medically supervised detox provides round-the-clock medical care to ensure your safety. 

Medical staff from the recovery center will check in on you every 10 to 15 minutes during the worst parts of your withdrawal to read your vitals and make sure you’re okay.

Depending on your symptoms of withdrawal, a residential treatment program may be recommended, as detox is only a short-term solution to a much larger issue.

Consider the Detox Process

We don’t live in a world where willpower keeps us clean and sober. So why do so many keep acting like we don’t need treatment after drug detox?

Why do some of us try telling ourselves we can just “chip” on our own and moderate our use and stay out of trouble? Or detox at a treatment center with a few subs we bought off the street and then did nothing else to say sober. Most of us, by now, should know better than to think that’s going to work.

Inpatient detox is one of the most reliable ways to quit drugs and alcohol. If someone’s symptoms aren’t severe enough for inpatient treatment, they can also attend an outpatient detox program.

Detoxing off Drugs in the Real World

It’s pretty obvious we don’t live in that world where willpower alone keeps us clean and sober. So why do so many keep acting like we don’t need any treatment after drug detox? Why do some of us try telling ourselves we can just “chip” on our own and moderate our use and stay out of trouble?

Or detox at him with a few subs we bought off the street and then do nothing else to say sober. Most of us by now should know better than to think that’s gonna work.

The fact that you’re here, reading this, means you have had a moment of clarity. Whether it’s for yourself or someone else. Right now, anyway, you are accepting that drug detox is necessary. God willing you might even realize that you or your loved one needs more than just drug detox to STAY clean. That’s great news, if so. Listen, denial and fear are the two biggest obstacles to getting help for addiction.

 If you or the person you love has found that precious willingness to accept help now, then it’s time to strike while the iron it gotoIf we can punch through those and just get things moving in the right direction with a little willingness, then great things are possible.

Home Drug Detox Rarely Works and Can Be Dangerous

Some drugs actually have a withdrawal process that is dangerous enough to kill. The three categories are: alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates. All three of these drugs can lead to lethal seizures in withdrawal if a person is not medically detoxed under supervision. We’re not trying to freak you out by telling you that—It’s something you need to know.

Taking Xanax bars on the regular like they’re Tic Tacs and then suddenly quitting (or running out) can actually KILL you. Not everyone is aware of the dangers of benzo withdrawal without being under supervision.

The tricky thing about withdrawal induced seizures from benzo withdrawal is there’s no way to know for sure who may have a seizure. There’s a number of things that decide your chances of having a serious, even deadly seizure in withdrawal.

Things That Contribute to a Withdrawal Seizure:

• How much you’re using and how often.
• Which drugs?  Is it benzos and opiates, or coke and alcohol? What are you mixing?
• How many years a person has been getting high or using.
• Past history of seizures or a family history of them.
• A person’s general physical health.
• The person’s age.
• Any other Rx medications the person may be taking.
• Other health issues, especially neurological problems.

Even with all of that information you can’t know for use just how much someone is at risk of a seizure. The safest thing to do when it comes to drug detox is to never attempt to drug detox at home. Especially alcohol detox and detoxing from benzodiazepine’s like Xanax or Klonopin or barbiturates is something that should always be done under medical supervision.

This is something that simply can’t be left to chance we must assume that everyone is at risk for a seizure. because seizures in benzo withdrawal can be deadly there is no room for shortcuts or guessing here. The deal is this:  A benzo detox performed in a professional medical environment like Transformations Care detox, it is the safest possible way to stop. Period.

NEVER try to Detox from Alcohol, Benzos or Barbiturates at Home

NEVER try to detox yourself from alcohol or sedatives like benzodiazepines or barbiturates. Don’t even think about it. It could cost you your life. We will always give you straight answers here, It is much too dangerous to play with detoxing yourself off of alcohol, benzos or barbiturates.
