Detox Treatment Center For Alcohol & Drugs Near Palm Springs

Detox is the first step of a new life in recovery. After the frustration and fear of living with a substance use disorder, it provides an opportunity for change.

Why Is Detox Important?

The human body maintains a balance within itself in order to survive. When people use drugs and alcohol, their body chemistry changes to accommodate the substance. The longer a substance is used, the more dependent the body becomes on having that substance provided for it. When the substance is removed, the body has to work to rebalance itself and correct what the substance altered. Detox is the process in which the body cleans out the substance or toxin and heals the systems that have been affected by it. It is essential to allow for this to happen in a safe environment because it puts stress on the body and cause withdrawal symptoms that can be unpleasant. Certain substances such as benzodiazepines (valium, xanax, ativan, etc) and alcohol create such a change in the body’s chemistry that stopping suddenly can result in seizures, and in severe cases, even death.
