Why is it not advisable to self-detox?
Detox from drug and alcohol addiction helps the body get rid of addictive chemicals & toxins, stabilizing the physical and mental health of the patient. Self-detox is often considered by many for coping with drug and alcohol addiction. A medical approach to proper treatment and healing is however recommended. Luminous Care is the best Detox & Rehab Centre in Sanford.
Self-detox is usually not advisable with the primary reason being that it is very uncomfortable experience and the patient with such an experience of discomfort would be very unlikely to try detox again. The other reasons would be the potential cause of danger due to symptoms like hallucinations which may cause the patient to act in unpredictable, dangerous ways, causing harm/injury to self or others. Even seizures associated with delirium tremens could result in death, which is highly dangerous too. Also, during the initial days there may or may not be access to a support person and safe house, there may be suicidal tendencies or thoughts and one may even find it problematic with use of substance. Medical supervision is therefore recommended, to keep the patient safe.
Self-Detox can also be intensely painful & unpleasant with likelihood of the patient to complete the process not being high. Clinical detox & interventions under professional supervision can make the negative consequences much less severe & increase the chances of successful detox.
