Detoxification

The initial step of our rehabilitation program is our detoxification regimen. After a person has abused an addictive drug for a regular period of time a physical dependence occurs and takes over. Once this happens it may be unsafe to abruptly discontinue use without professional assistance from a medically monitored detoxification program. Addictive drugs such as alcohol, heroin, meth, crack, xanax, vicodin and many others produce a wide variety of withdrawal effects such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, diarrhea, cramping, nausea and more.

At Drug Rehabilitation Center Altamont we provide the needed medical supervision to help out clients be as comfortable as possible in the detoxification process. We provide 24 hour around the clock care and support throughout this very important first phase in the rehabilitation process. Our clients typically state that they feel a renewed sense of hope once they have completed our detoxification phase of the program.

An essential part of beating addiction is to acknowledge that you have a problem. An individual who refuses to accept they are addicted will not be able to take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to taking a honest look into their addiction problem, also requires the individual to look at how and why they got addicted to start with. Addiction often occurs when a person uses a substance to self-medicate in order to handle negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If a person doesn't recognize the underlying issues fueling their addiction and does not receive help, it will typically be almost impossible for them to conquer their addiction.

Recognizing that you have a problem is a very important part in dealing with alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you also need to have the desire to do what is needed to change it.

Reasons might include wanting to be a better mother/father, experience more joy in life, to be the person you really want to be, repair damaged relationships, to be healthy again, or to simply repair the damage that addiction causes.

Do not just concentrate and be absorbed on the circumstances and problems caused by your addiction, because focusing in on the negative aspects of the past usually makes one feel depressed and hopeless.
