Depending on the nature and severity of a person’s substance abuse history, attempting to undergo detoxification for alcohol or drugs without the medical supervision that is available at a detox rehab center can be painful and potentially fatal.

Detoxification from Alcohol

Alcohol Detox at Twelve Oaks Recovery Center near Pensacola, Florida

The purpose of alcohol detoxification is to stabilize the body in the safest and least painful way to prepare the addicted individual to fully participate in their alcoholism treatment program. Attempting to withdraw from alcohol without proper supervision can cause serious health issues. Alcohol detox rehab is not meant to replace treatment for alcoholism, but instead is used as a precursor to help ease an individual into their alcohol rehab program. Alcohol detox rehab is highly recommended for those who have been abusing or become addicted to alcohol.
