Is Detox Part of Rehab?

While the detoxification cycle is part of the recovery process, it is not necessarily part of rehab. Detoxing takes place before rehab. In detox, your body will flush itself free of all the harmful chemicals that you pumped into your body during your addiction. It is at this point that your body will try to break the physical dependence it has developed to the abused substances. Your body will go into shock trying to operate without drugs or alcohol. When that happens, withdrawal symptoms will occur.

How Bad Are Withdrawal Symptoms?

The most experienced withdrawal symptoms include puking, sweating, shaking, trouble sleeping and loss of appetite. Withdrawal symptoms may cause pain and discomfort. Because of that, the detox process gets a bad reputation. Most inpatient detox centers provide their clients with special medication to help deal with withdrawal symptoms.

Some people refuse to seek professional help for their addiction because they do not want withdrawal symptoms to occur. Don't let these symptoms be the reason you continue to live in a cycle of abuse. Trying to detox on your own via cold turkey methods is dangerous and could result in serious health side effects.

Attending AA and NA meetings held by the 12-step community are great ways to meet and greet with other people in recovery. Helping one another in recovery is huge. Fighting against your addiction for your whole life is hard, but it is even harder. Build a strong support group.
