Detoxification

The first step of our program is our detox regimen. After a person has used drugs over an extended period of time an addiction develops for the drug. Once this happens it may be not medically safe to abruptly discontinue use without professional assistance from a medical detoxification program. Habit-forming substances such as alcohol, valium, cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, xanax, vicodin and many others cause a wide range of withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, vomiting, sweating, diarrhea, cramping, nausea, lethargy and more.

At Drug Treatment Program Dekalb we provide the needed medical services and support to help out clients be as comfortable as possible through the detox process. We provide 24 hour care and support during this critical first step in the rehabilitation process. Our clients often say that they feel a great sense of accomplishment once they have completed our detox process.

An essential step in overcoming addiction is to realize that you have a problem. A person who is in denial about their addiction will not be able to move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many people, when it comes to confronting their addiction situation, also requires the individual to try to figure out why and how it developed in the first place. Addiction typically occurs when a person uses a substance to self-medicate in order to deal with negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If a person doesn't figure out the root issues guiding their addiction and does not reach out for help, it will typically be harder for them to conquer their addiction.

Acknowledging that you have a problem is an extremely vital step in dealing with drug addiction or alcoholism. In addition you must also have the desire to do what is needed to change it. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to rehabilitation. Many people find it helpful to make a list the reasons why they want to change. Reasons could be, for example, wanting to be a better mother/father, experience more joy in life, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to be healthy again, or to simply repair the damage that addiction causes.

Do not just focus on the circumstances and problems caused by your addiction, because focusing in on the negative consequences of the past can make you feel hopeless. Instead, focus on your future and recovery. Focus on the positive things that will surely materialize when you have conquered your addiction. At Drug Rehabilitation Facility Dekalb we will help you to embrace your new opportunities for a happy, productive, addiction-free life. A new life fulfilling long lost goals and dreams in your new addiction-free life.

Taking the time to list out these goals can keep you excited and motivated during the recovery process.

Long Term Rehabilitation goals
