  1. WAISMANN INSTITUTE Presents The Four Stages of Drug Detox

  2. Detox flushes the drugs out of the body while treating the accompanying withdrawal symptoms. Depending on the drug being abused and the length of drug use, detox can be a very traumatic experience and in some cases even dangerous.

  3. Most drug detox programs involve four stages

  4. Stage 1 The first step is identifying the indicated drug detox program based on a combination of individual factors like age, the drug used, health history, medical and emotional requirements, financial capabilities. Without the effectiveness and success of this first stage of detoxification, the following steps would not be possible.

  5. Stage 2 Assessment includes determining what drugs are in their system including methamphetamine, heroin, opiates, cocaine and marijuana. Each also requires a specific detox preparation method and medications in order to achieve a safe and effective drug detoxification.

  6. Stage 3 Physical detoxification begins immediately after the last use of drugs. Without detox, no drug recovery treatment will be effective. Patients who choose to detox on their own can expect the following withdrawal symptoms to occur, depending on the drug being abused: nausea and vomiting, aggression, insomnia.

  7. Stage 4 During the final stage of detox, most physical side effects typically subside and patients start to feel better. Drug detox is the first and most important step, but it only deals with the physiological aspects of addiction.
