IOP Offers Sound Advice On How To Detox From Alcohol At Home
I already know that I should take thiamin twice a day, and a prescription anti-anxiety/anti -insomnia drug (I have Lorazepam that I have not used yet), starting at 4 times a day and reducing the amount. I would like to know about anything else that can reduce the symptoms of withdrawal.
Remember that detox alone is not recommended if you have been addicted to any of these drugs. 99 Detox highly recommends, as well as the medical community, that transferring to a drug rehab or alcohol rehab immediately after completing the detox process is the most important step for a lasting recovery from addiction. Detox alone is not treatment for addiction. If it was then you would have been able to stop the first time you quit using drugs or alcohol.
Most people who are addicted to prescription drugs, street drugs or alcohol cannot safely or effectively stop abusing the substances on their own. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and difficult. Opiate drug withdrawal such as heroin or pain medications can be very painful, scary and nearly impossible to do without medical assistance. Many people try to stop on their own but once withdrawal symptoms begin they usually return to the abused substances to help ease the withdrawal symptoms creating a perpetual cycle of addiction that can lead to brain damage, organ failure or eventually death. The addiction treatment field has seen a huge increase in the abuse of heroin.
