What happens in rehab?
The processof recovery starts with the decision to take the
journey to recovery. Once you enter an addiction
rehabilitation center, they sit you down and do an intake.
They need to get to know who you are and why you have
come to them and why you decided to do it now and much
more. The intake is also the point when they tell you about
the center, and inform you of the program they
recommend you follow while you are there.
The first step, intake completed, next starts the next step,
detox. Detox is every addict's enemy. Detox is the phase
that comes with withdrawal symptoms while getting over
whatever addiction ailed you. The severity of withdrawal
depends on your level of dependency on your addiction. The
more you dependent on your addiction, the worse it will be.
Most often the detoxification process is done under
supervision. After getting through detox, you can start the
process of rehabilitation.
