Detox is a process in which you completely give up your drug of choice. Your mind and body go through hell as you adjust to not feeding the drug back into your system. Patients can experience vomiting, sweating profusely, excessive sleep, thirst etc. I have included a link to a detox facility. Follow the tabs across the top to learn more and what they offer. If you are planning on Detoxing and stick with it... congratulations.

Drug detox is a standard part of most rehab programs. It's a process that cleanses the body of chemical substances. Because of the dangers and complications that can arise, it may be more helpful to get assistance in addiction treatment. You can also attend 12-step meetings and find a group of people who support your sobriety. Good luck on your journey!
