How Will I Cope with My Cravings in Treatment?

When you enter treatment for drug or alcohol dependency, your first step is detoxification, or detox. Detox cleanses your body of the toxins that are in drugs and alcohol so you can begin rehab. When you stop using, you will have withdrawal symptoms, which can range from cravings to nausea to even more severe symptoms like seizure, stroke and death.

The advantage of going to a detox treatment center is that your cravings and withdrawals can be managed by medical professionals. If they are severe, you will be prescribed meds to help with your pain. Addiction professionals in detox also help you cope with your minor withdrawals that don’t require medication.

Cravings and other symptoms vary depending on the substance you use, the frequency of use, the dosage, your sensitivity to it, and other physical and mental health issues you may have.

If you happen to be addicted to alcohol or benzos, it is highly recommended that you receive detox in a medical facility as withdrawals from these substances can be deadly.

Consider traveling to another city or state for your detox and for your rehab. Traveling for treatment will move you away from the stresses and conditions that may be contributing to your substance abuse now.
