Detoxification and Rehabilitation in Addiction
Detoxification (detox) marks the first phase of addiction treatment, focused on safely eliminating harmful substances from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision. Detox alone is not enough to achieve long-term recovery, which is why it is followed by rehabilitation. Rehabilitation involves an intensive, structured treatment plan tailored to the individual's specific needs, addressing the psychological, emotional, and social factors contributing to addiction. During rehab, patients engage in therapy, group sessions, and skill-building exercises designed to improve their coping abilities and prevent relapse. The combination of detox and rehabilitation provides a well-rounded approach, helping individuals not only rid their bodies of substances but also develop the tools necessary to maintain lasting sobriety and rebuild their lives.
