Do you really need Treatment? Do You Need or Require Detox?

Men and women frequently confuse the word ‘detox’ with ‘treatment’ so let's clear up what each word actually means. Detox or Detoxification means dealing or working with the actual physical aspects associated with consuming a lot of drugs or alcohol. The length of time spent at a standard detox may be as short as overnight to as much as 7 days. Patients or affected individuals tend to be discharged after a short stay because there is a large demand for beds in detox facilities. Quite simply, once a hospital or medical center or detox determines you are no longer medically at risk or in danger you may end up being discharged. Our detox is for a fixed time frame of four to seven days. The client is medically evaluated and we have staff on 24/7.

Treatment is a lot different than detox. Preliminary residential treatment generally lasts a minimum of four weeks to a number of months and focuses mainly on the psychological aspects and facets of drug and alcohol addiction. Sober living or lifestyle (called Support Recovery) is a form or type of treatment which involves and consists of treatment stays of six months to a number of years and is intended and designed to help and assist individuals’ transition to independent and self-sufficient living after preliminary treatment.

Almost all of the detoxes do not really provide counselling or even talk therapies. If you are trying to find a treatment program that addresses the actual psychological, mental and emotional aspects associated with drug addiction or alcoholism think about residential treatment programs. Options Okanagan's program, is right here and admissions can be scheduled within a day. Options Okanagan also offers a medical detox so no clean/sober time is needed prior to admission to treatment. Many patients and sufferers choose this program because Options can quickly admit patients and does not require any clean time.

Do not Detox Alone

Think again and reconsider if you are looking at detoxing at home. Detoxing from alcohol abuse or from a mix of alcohol and other drugs or medicines (particularly prescription drugs and medicines from doctors) can be dangerous and life-threatening. When going to a detox location take a bus, cab, get a ride from a sober friend or a member of the family. In case your admission to alcohol detoxification is postponed or delayed consider taking small intakes of alcohol as opposed to going cold turkey throughout the hours leading up to your detox or detoxification admission.
