Drug Detox

Visiting a drug rehab center begins with a period of medical detox. A medical detox facility is a treatment center that is staffed with qualified professionals, which help patients cope with the withdrawal symptoms of alcohol or drug abstinence. These withdrawal symptoms can be unpleasant, dangerous, and even life-threatening without medical care. 

Although detox is challenging, asking or agreeing to go detox is a big step in the road to recovery. There are several benefits to detoxing at a treatment center. Let’s explore some of these benefits further below.

Reasons to Visit a Detox Center

At Channel Islands Rehab, we recommend that you enroll in a drug and alcohol facility center. But if you are still on the fence why detox center is best for you, here are reasons we recommend it.

  1. A Safe Environment

The detox process can be unpredictable in some instances. You may encounter severe withdrawal symptoms such as Seizures, Increased heart rate, High blood pressure, Hallucinations, Depression, or anxiety. Medically assisted detox centers offer 24/7 medical assistance to ensure your safety. You can get medical help within a minute in the event of loss of consciousness. At Channel Islands Rehab, our staff will check on you all the time you are with us to make sure you are comfortable.

  1. Comfortable Facilities

The best environment for alcohol and drug detox is one that allows you to focus on your recovery as well as one that is quite peaceful. Unfortunately, a home does not provide this. You may be living in a household where alcohol and drug abuse are prevalent, making it difficult to focus on your recovery. A medically assisted detox center like Channel Islands Rehab can provide a comfortable environment that is perfect for recovery. 

  1. Reduced Risk of Relapse

You’re much more likely to give in to your cravings when withdrawal gets difficult without the supervision of a medical team treating you. When you are in a detox center, your risk of relapse is drastically reduced because a team of professionals is managing you. Our medical team at Channel Islands Rehab will treat your symptoms to make sure you are comfortable at all times.  

  1. Peace of Mind

You need a plan for recovery since addiction can affect everyone around you. It’s natural for your friends and family to be worried about you and want the best for you. If you choose to enroll in our detox program, your family members won’t have to bother about your safety, and you don’t have to worry that something will go wrong. When you enter our detox center, you get full-service facilities, medication to help with your symptoms, and responsive staff.
