Busting Myths Around Detox


By Barbara Odozi

Detoxification is a process of getting rid of alcohol, drugs and their metabolites, and nurturing the body with essential minerals and nutrients. Due to lack of knowledge, many people harbor negative views about the process and hesitate taking the first and most important step of addiction treatment. It's only after cleansing the body of all the toxins and making it stable, a patient can be administered further treatment targeting emotional and behavioral change.

Detox is crucial to monitor withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse. But many people assume that it's unsafe and some fear change in their lives. Here are some facts debunking myths surrounding detox, which can help a person to take the right decision of entering a rehab:

Myth - Detox is always difficult and very painful.

Fact - This is one of the most common myths. Detox might be painful as the body tries to get used to the absence of the substance that was once taken regularly. However, under medical supervision, it can be made tolerable where one is helped in transitioning to other steps of recovery.

Myth - Detox is only for heroin addiction.

Fact - Many people think that detox is only for people addicted to heroin or other strong drugs, but it is a myth. It is needed for those addicted to alcohol or prescriptions drugs as well.

Myth - Detox happens only once.

Fact - Many people believe that detox can happen only once and if a person fails, there is only a downward spiral. The fact is that many people who have been in recovery for years swear by the number of times they attempted a detox before finally quitting the substance for good.

Myth - Detox lasts for 24-48 hours only.

Fact - The length of a detox program varies from person to person, depending upon the drug of abuse, duration and dosage. It can last from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Myth - Once detox is over, a person is fit.

Fact - This is again a misconception. Detox is the first step towards attaining sobriety; it should never be considered as a stand-alone procedure. Quitting treatment after detox can result in an imminent relapse.

Getting maximum out of detox

Here are some tips to help a person gain maximum from a detox or a rehab:

It is important to keep reminding oneself why one entered a detox facility or a rehab. Affirmations help in reinstating one's belief in the treatment and keep hopes alive.

One must ask questions whenever in doubt as it will give clarity.

It is important to stay focused on the present rather than ruminating over the past or getting anxious about the future.

One must follow the rules and be patient. There should be no hurry to finish the program. Discipline and perseverance are essential in recovery.

It is important to keep one's mind open to all the possibilities, consequences and disappointments. It helps in learning and unlearning many things about oneself and the process, and this knowledge can be enlightening.

One should not expect a quick fix solution to the problems. Clinically-administered detox gradually removes the drug effects. If it's done suddenly, it's bound to have repercussions.

One should prepare for the best and the worst days in advance. Some days might be challenging, while some might be easy. Be grateful for each day of life.

It's important to be friendly as one might have to attend several group therapy sessions. Befriending other people offers an opportunity to share and learn from them.

Detox and recovery

Drug or alcohol addiction is a treatable disease only when a person seeks help. Though recovery can be faster during the initial days of addiction, it is not impossible to wean off the drug effects when a person has been addicted for long.

If you know someone who needs help in treating his/her addiction, you can contact Detox Facilities Texas for information on renowned rapid detox centers in Texas and other parts of the U.S. Call our 24/7 helpline (866) 671-4308 for further assistance.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
