Challenges of Detox
The human body’s chemistry, biology, and functioning change when an individual uses an addictive substance. The body adjusts to the recurrent ingestion of these chemicals, on all levels, compromising natural homeostasis. When an individual removes such a substance from their body and ceases ingestion, the body begins the process of reverting back to normal, healthy functioning.
Through this process, the individual may experience discomfort, pain, psychological irregularity, and strong emotions.
Treatment Approaches
As described above, treatment is individualized; therefore the length of stay and treatment approaches will vary. Brooks Detox provides highly trained nursing and physician oversight to ensure detoxification is safely monitored. Brooks also provides a variety of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) options to promote an improved detoxification experience and success.
