3 Benefits of Detox in a Medical Setting
2
  • Theres a stigma associated with detox for women
    in a medical setting because the misconception is
    that only the crazies go to an institution to
    address their problems.
  • The operative word here should be clinical.
    That means no judgment when you walk into the
    rehab facilitys doors since everybodys main
    concern is to help you get better.

What are the advantages of a medically assisted
detox?
1. Its Easier on the Body
  • This is the best detox for women whose willpower
    alone is not enough to stop drinking alcohol or
    taking drugs cold turkey.
  • Although willpower here is being used loosely
    because oftentimes, you cant predict how your
    body will react to a foreign chemical being
    introduced into your system for prolonged periods
    of time.

4
  • Under this treatment process, the doctor will use
    substitute drugs to help your body get rid of the
    toxins without shocking your system.
  • There are many drugs available depending on the
    severity of your problem.

5
2. Its Very Safe
  • In a controlled setting, your reaction to the
    treatment is constantly being monitored.
  • It cant be avoided sometimes that peoples
    bodies may react violently from the withdrawal,
    so this could be rectified immediately without
    endangering the patient.

6
  • People who dont know what addicts go through
    always look down on their lack of ability to stop
    the urges.
  • The common misconception is that they can just
    switch the cravings on and off.
  • Thats not true at all. While the need to get
    high is the main reason why they do drugs, its
    the fear of the withdrawal that makes them come
    back again and again.

3. Cut Down the Urges
  • It has been proven time and again that detox for
    women in a medical setting will drastically
    reduce the risk of relapsing.
  • Unlike going cold turkey, the urges and cravings
    are minimized to an extent that you dont lose
    control.
  • Its unrealistic to think that there will be no
    more urges, of course.
  • As an added benefit, this type of treatment cuts
    the risk of the patient relapsing somewhere down
    the road.

8
  • As can be gleaned, this type of detox for women
    comes with a risk and that is the patient will
    get hooked on the substitute drugs instead.
  • Thats the reason why individuals are being
    closely monitored.
  • Ideally, the patient should be totally off the
    substitute drugs about one month since the detox
    started.
  • By that time, she should already have graduated
    to counseling and other therapeutic sessions on
    her way to recovery.
