Why You Need a Detox Center: The
Hard Road of a Recovering Addict
 Home Away from Home
 Detox centers provide a safe haven for those who are unable to beat
their addiction in their everyday environments. For example, some
addictions cannot be broken all at once. Going “cold turkey” can kill a
person who is physically dependent on a substance.
 Mind, Body, and Spirit
 Detox centers also specialize in psychological support for the process of
recovery itself. It is extremely stressful to detox from any drug addiction.
 Toughing It Out
 There is a temptation to try and quit alone. Whether it is a “man up”
mentality or a person’s personal pride, people feel guilty about seeking
help.
