Detoxification

The first step of our program is our detoxification program. After an individual has abused an addictive drug over an extended period of time an addiction develops for the drug. When dependence or addiction has developed it can be not medically safe to abruptly stop using the drug without professional assistance from a medical detoxification procedure. Habit-forming drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, demerol, vicodin and many others cause a wide variety of withdrawal effects such as anxiety, agitation, muscle aches, insomnia, vomiting, sweating, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, lethargy and other symptoms.

At Drug Rehab Program Atlantic City we offer the often necessary medical supervision to make our clients as safe and comfortable as possible through the detox process. We offer 24 hour care throughout this very important first phase in the treatment process. Our clients often say that they feel a renewed sense of hope after they have completed our detox program.

An essential aspect of overcoming addiction is to realize that you have a problem. A person who refuses to accept they are addicted cannot move forward to solving a problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to taking a honest look into their addiction problem, also requires the individual to look at why and how it developed in the first place. Addiction typically happens when a person starts taking the drug or alcohol to self-medicate in order to handle negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions. If a person doesn't learn the root issues connected to their addiction and does not reach out for help, it will be extremely difficult for them to overcome their addiction.

Acknowledging that you have a problem is a very important part of recovery from drug addiction or alcoholism. In addition you also need to have the desire to put forth the effort to change it. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to recovery. Many say it helps to write down why they want to put an end to their addiction. Reasons could be, for example, wanting to be a better parent, experience more joy in life, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair relationships with family and friends, to be healthy again, or to reverse other negative situations caused by your addiction.

Do not only focus on the problems caused by your substance abuse, as focusing in on the negative aspects of the past can make you feel depressed and hopeless.
