What Is Drug and Alcohol Detox?
Detox, or detoxification, removes substances such as drugs or alcohol from your body. Long-term drug or alcohol use leads to physical and mental dependency, so stopping suddenly can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.
Symptoms of withdrawal syndrome may include:
- Agitation
- Hallucinations
- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
- Nausea and vomiting
- Seizures
- Tremors
Withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous, so it’s important for detox to happen in an environment with medical supervision. The doctors and nurses at University Behavioral Center have extensive training in addiction management. We provide the medical detox support and evidence-based therapies you need.
