Drug abuse treatment really does work, even in people who have long histories of addiction and prior attempts to get well. With the right kind of care, anyone can overcome a drug addiction issue.

Healing begins with a trip to a drug detox facility. Orlando Recovery Center provides that care, and it could be the right place for you or for someone that you love.

What Is Drug Detox?

There are all sorts of illicit drugs out there for people to use and abuse, and every year, new drugs seem to come on the market. Synthetic marijuana is one of these newer drugs, and according to the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future Study, about 11 percent of teens admitted to taking that drug in 2011. Older drugs retain their allure, too.

Each drug can produce a novel set of withdrawal symptoms, and due to changes in body chemistry, every person that takes the same drug can have a different response to that drug.

Typically, drugs of abuse leave a twinge of damage behind. A drug detox program facilitates healing by allowing people with a history of drug abuse to clear their bodies of drugs. All the drugs they’ve taken can move through the person’s system, and all the body’s natural processes can finally resume without drug interference.

While this process is totally natural and very healthy, it can come with a few unpleasant side effects, which might include:

• Nausea
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Sweating
• Constipation
• Muscle pain
• Tearful eyes
• Chills

Help in a Drug Detox Facility

The Treatment Episode Data Set suggests that close to 2 million people enroll in drug treatment every year. In a drug detox facility, people have access to two different kinds of help that can make an addiction issue fade: physical support and emotional healing.

Physical support may come in the form of medications. At Orlando Recovery Center, staff members have in-depth experience with using medications to help soothe the physical symptoms associated with drug withdrawal. They can also step in and provide life-saving support, should an underlying medical condition appear during the drug detox process. Access to trained staff like this is vital for a safe drug detox, and it’s available to you at Orlando Recovery Center.

Emotional healing can also be facilitated by trained staff members. Therapy sessions held during detox can help people to understand their past in addiction and come to terms with a new sober future. The facility itself can also boost emotional healing, as the spaces provide plenty of opportunities for quiet contemplation and enjoyment. People who feel soothed are more likely to heal, and Orlando Recovery Center is tailor-made to deliver that kind of healing.
