Facts

  • When an individual stops consuming alcohol, alcohol level in their body can actually continue to increase. No amount of coffee, cold baths, showers, or trying to walk it off will stop this process.
  • The morning after an alcohol binge, the body's organs try to make up for their own water loss by taking it from the brain causing the brain to decrease in size and pull on the membranes that connect the brain to the skull, resulting in pain.
  • Withdrawing from benzodiazepine drugs may cause an individual to feel as though they are experiencing an anxiety attack.
  • Methamphetamine is similar in structure to the brain chemical dopamine, the brain's pleasure transmitter, which is what causes neurons to release large amounts of dopamine which produce a high.

West Stockholm - Detoxification

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the procedure of the drug being removed from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug treatment facility which can properly oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug treatment facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any difficulties are handled as quickly and safely as possible.
