WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab offers medically assisted detox services for those who are struggling with drug addiction. Whether you are addicted to illicit drugs such as heroin or are dependent or addicted to prescription medications such as opioids, WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab has a detox program for you. Drug detox is designed to gradually and effectively wean the individual off of the substance of abuse in a controlled and monitored environment. Detox medications help to mitigate the unfavorable withdrawal symptoms that are often experienced during the tapering process. Individuals will be physically stabilized so they do not experience the side effects of withdrawal which can include nausea, vomiting, shakiness, hallucinations, and feelings of general and unwellness. When individuals are comfortable during the detox process, they are able to better digest the next steps in the recovery process. It’s highly advised that individuals never go ‘cold turkey’ as this can put the body into a state of panic and induce seizures, irregular heartbeat, and other withdrawal symptoms. For chronic and severe addictions, going cold turkey can even be life-threatening. The safest option for detoxing is through a professional detox center.
