Drug Rehabilitation Treatments
Any smoker can tell you that it's easy to quit smoking; the hard part is staying smoke-free. The same is true of any other kind of drug dependency, because longevity is the ultimate measure of a detox method. The key to success in a drug detox strategy lies in how many of its participants are able to live the rest of their lives without returning to drug use.
On one end of the spectrum, quitting a drug habit alone and "cold turkey" is both dangerous and ineffective. Without a support network, it's hard to stick to your resolution--and even with moral support, it is incredibly difficult for your body to adapt to life without a drug that it is accustomed to. Stopping a drug regimen without medical care or supervision will cause severe and painful withdrawal symptoms that can be life-threatening to some people.
Traditionally, the 28-day drug rehab clinic has been used to treat dependencies. However, these clinics often don't detoxify their patients, and leave them to suffer the painful withdrawal symptoms in a hospital or specialized clinic. In addition, these centers often have high relapse rates among their patients, in part because the shock of leaving the controlled environment is severe, and also because rapid detox can cause severe drug cravings to assualt the patient upon leaving.
The safest and most effective form of detox is found here at Meditox. Our outpatient program integrates detoxification with the patient's lifestyle, so that it can be maintained once the program has run its course. We offer the same supportive environment and medical care as any inpatient clinic.
