Detox (DTX) Program

Detoxification is the critical first step in overcoming substance dependence, involving the safe removal of toxins from the body. The detox process helps stabilize individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally, preparing them for comprehensive treatment and long-term recovery.

Withdrawal experiences vary significantly depending on factors such as the type of substance used, the duration of use, the amount regularly consumed, and individual physical and mental health conditions. Withdrawal symptoms may begin within hours after the last use and persist for several days or weeks, making professional medical supervision essential.

Common withdrawal symptoms include:

• Physical Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting, headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, tremors, excessive sweating, and sleep disturbances.

• Emotional and Psychological Symptoms: Anxiety, irritability, severe depression, mood swings, cravings, cognitive impairment, and panic attacks.

• Severe Complications: Seizures, hallucinations, delirium tremens (DTs), respiratory distress, elevated heart rate, blood pressure instability, and other potentially life-threatening conditions.

Attempting to detox without professional support can be dangerous and significantly increases the risk of relapse. At More Life Treatment Center, our medically supervised detox program ensures withdrawal symptoms are carefully managed, providing a safer, more comfortable, and effective beginning to your recovery journey.
