What is Medical Detox?

Medical Detox is the treatment of alcohol, opioid, and other drug withdrawal symptoms in a acute care (hospital) setting using pharmacological and therapeutic methods. Consistently using an addictive substance leads to a chemical imbalance in the body and an increasing reliance on the drug.

This is why abruptly stopping a substance after the body has developed a reliance is unsuccessful and dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can range from minor discomfort including nausea, fever, and sweating to life-threatening conditions such as seizures, delirium tremens, and cardiovascular complications.

Rather than abruptly discontinuing an addictive drug, the body needs to be gradually tapered off which either gives it a chance to reestablish the proper chemical processes or to replace the drug with another controlled substance.

Therefore, medical detox requires the resources of a hospital, comprising of board-certified psychiatrists and internists, pharmacists, nurses, therapists, and professional addiction counselors that are constantly monitoring your vital signs, incrementally replacing and tapering you off of the drug, and providing therapeutic services that serve to replace the addiction.
