What type of Detox do I need?
Detox programs are specific to the types of alcohol or other drugs you are taking, as well as the level and length of use. Detox programs are divided into:
- Social Model Detox, which uses natural vitamins and minerals as well as massage and other techniques to help you withdrawal from your drugs without too much discomfort.
- Medically Assisted Detox, where a physician prescribes some medications to help ease the discomfort of withdrawals, but these programs are usually not equipped to handle life-threatening episodes caused by the withdrawal, and
- Medical Detox, which are usually hospital-based programs that can provide life-support and medications as needed.
You should have a thorough assessment of your current use and its recent history to determine which detox is most appropriate for you case.
