The Importance of a Detox Program

The old way of doing detox involved forcing every client to go cold turkey. Physicians stuck to the belief that the pain of going through withdrawal would be an effective deterrent from someone becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol in the future.

The cold turkey method failed as a method of discouraging relapses into substance abuse. It only put the lives of the client at risk as they suffered through withdrawal symptoms. The effects of drugs and alcohol take a toll on the body. It becomes weaker the longer someone abuses various substances and develops a dependency on them.

Going through withdrawal sends the body into a state of shock. The nervous system begins misfiring, resulting in a variety of symptoms that puts the client in agony. A person’s organs could fail because they lack the strength to withstand the stress placed on the body.
