Scared of Drug Detox - So Was I

Thinking of going to a drug detox scared the heck out of me. Every time I tried to detox on my own before I got so horribly sick and no matter how many times they told me I wouldn’t get sick like that in drug detox, I didn’t believe them. All I knew if it meant avoiding the shakes, tremors and cravings, I would rather keep using. Trying to detox off of xanax and alcohol dam near killed me.

After ending up in the ER for the third time in as many months, I decided to give a detox program a try. I didn’t know whether to go to an alcohol detox progarm or drug detox program. That is how messed up I was. The ER staff said just get yourself into a medical drug detox. Well, I was sick, but nowhere as sick as I was in the past. the staff in the detox program gave me detox medications to ease the withdrawal symptoms, cared for me and made sure I had as much support as neccessary.

Well I made it through detox alive, thanks to the staff. I feel like a dish rag that a truck has run over , but I am done with drug detox and gald of it. I can think again, feel again and although I still have cravings, they are manageable. Do yourself a favor and check out the Lakeview Health drug detox program or go to a site 99detox.com to locate a quality detox near you.
