Alcohol is a poison and it builds up in your system. Before you can start to treat the emotional and psychological causes of alcohol dependence, you first have to treat the physical consequences. This process involves purging the body of the toxin: detoxification, or detox. In the case of substance misuse, detox specifically refers to the period of time the body is allowed to process or break down any drugs and alcohol in the system and, in doing so, clears their toxic effect.
The Detox programme at Regain Recovery allows you to safely and comfortably clear the body completely of alcohol and manage the symptoms of acute withdrawal. We provide a full medically managed detox to all our clients who require this. This is paramount as detox can cause seizures, fitting and potential cardiac problems. It is therefore essential, particularly if there have been long periods of alcohol abuse, that you don't try to go "cold turkey" alone.
Detox takes place under the care of our medical and mental health team. Constant observations are performed to increase safety and comfort levels. When this stage is over, which takes up to seven days, then the healing can begin.
