ADDICTION REHAB PROCESS
 Intake
 This is where you gather all information you need and find out more about
the rehab process. You get to ask the Centre all sorts of questions based on
your status and the Centre does the same in return. There are some
diagnostic tests that help everyone to better understand your needs. More
personal details like one’s financial state, family health background, and
personal history will also be needed. You should also be aware of the
different types of rehab facilities so that you know which is best for you.
Some clinics render outpatient services only while others include inpatient
services or a combination of both. Whatever program you choose has the
same intake process and it will be completed by a professional counsellor.
 Detox
 This stage is basically a cleansing program that is tailored to ensure that the
body is rid of all the available traces of substances like drugs or alcohol. This
detox process will be determined by i; body metabolism, the type of drug
previously used, the amount of time the patient has had the addiction and
any previous addictions. It is highly advised that the detox process is
completed in a professional medical setting because sometimes the body’s
response can be extremely severe.
