Inspire Change Wellness Addiction? When To Get Help And What To Expect | Page 5

How can a detox center help?
Not only is a detox center or rehabilitation facility filled with caring people who only want to help you
get better, but they are also staffed with highly educated medical staff and professionals with the
ability to aid you in any stage of your recovery.
During the recovery process, patients can expect to experience some withdrawal symptoms.
Depending on the addiction substance, duration and quantity will vary the type and length of any
withdrawals you might experience. They are usually different for everyone and come in a variety of
different symptoms.
In a medical rehabilitation unit, all treatment is tailored around an individual's personal needs, wants
and requirements so as to make the transaction as smooth as possible.
Everyone is different, however, those suffering from severe withdrawals may find is very helpful to
commit to a chemical detox, whereby the toxins are flushed from the system much more rapidly then
they would naturally occur. This allows recovery to progress more quickly but is a highly
uncomfortable experience. During this procedure, a nurse and/or doctor will be on call, with you
throughout the procedure in case you need immediate medical attention.
Of course, it isn't just medical aid that is available in a detox center. Another key step in the recovery
process is communication. Rehabilitation staff will be able to help you in regards to your personal
situation and staff will also be able to help those closest to an addict know how best to help them
recover, what to look out for and how to provide a patient with every support available. Whilst many
patients won't ever want to admit it, there is always a possibility of relapse. But by keeping in contact
with your rehab center and being honest should you fall into this category, the door to recovery will
never close. It is a fact of life that sometimes our willpower lets us down, and the truth is it is not
always enough to just try to stop. But it is also true that a relapse doesn't mean you won't get better. It
doesn't mean you failed. It just means your not there yet and a different approach is all that is needed .
