Drug detox does not have to be a life threatening or painful experience if it is done within the confines of a medical detox center. A medical detox center provides the patient all the services required to insure a safe detox. A medical detox provides 24 hour nursing, around the clock medical care and a physician trained in addiction medicine to dispense the medications required to manage any withdrawal symptoms.

Drug detox does not and should not mean suffering. Drug detox should be a gentle withdrawal from the addictive substance coupled with counseling aimed at evaluating a person’s need for ongoing drug and alcohol treatment.
