Why You Should Never Detox Alone
Many people may be hesitant to get the medical attention they need, but this is why it’s so important you never detox alone.There are so many dangers in detoxing alone. You wouldn’t treat a broken arm at home alone would you? You would go to the hospital. We need to treat addiction and withdrawal just as serious.
Detoxing alone is rarely ever effective and is very challenging to do alone. Withdrawal symptoms are very serious, your body goes into a state of shock when it is suddenly deprived of the drug of choice it is used to. Your brain has no idea how to deal with the sudden loss of this drug and it starts to show up as symptoms throughout your body that require medical attention and supervision.
You can experience
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Stomach pain
- Migraines
- Insomnia
- Tremors
- A heart attack
- Hallucinations
- Panic attacks
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trouble breathing
- Loss of appetite
- Hypertension
- Suicidal thoughts
- Rapid onset of severe confusion and changes in the way your brain regulates blood circulation and breathing
Without proper help or treatment these symptoms can get very severe and last for weeks. Not only are you putting yourself in danger and a stressful situation, but those around you will be affected as well. You are also more prone to turning back to the drug of choice for some relief which will only prolong your suffering. In order to heal in the most effective and least dangerous way possible you need 24/7 treatment, supervision, support, and care. You don’t need to struggle alone that is what we are here for.
