Drug Detox Programs, Centers and Rehabs

Detoxification is the process of safely getting drugs and alcohol out of your system and can be critical for individuals addicted to Alcohol, Opiates and Prescription Drugs. Abruptly stopping after a long period of abuse can be physically dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. The consequences of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction are chronic and potentially long-term. Working under the influence of controlled substances like drugs and alcohol can cause dangers at both workplace and home by mounting the risk of accidents, impairing health and well being of the user, and diminishing efficiency.

Drug detox centers and alcohol detox programs in hospitals and residential treatment facilities often include medical support structures and the spiritual AA model. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) attempts to deal with the psychosocial and spiritual roots of alcohol and substance abuse problems without dealing with the physical component.

Such programs are carried out to assist individual in recovering and connecting with spiritual nourishment. Yoga serves the body during its detoxification process and furthermore helps to establish and maintain mental and emotional equilibrium.

Acupuncture and Addiction

Auricular acupuncture is an effective method of assisting the treatment of alcohol, drug and nicotine abuse as well as stress. Auricular acupuncture can be delivered to individuals or to groups. The effects of auricular acupuncture vary from person to person. The treatment involves inserting five needles in each ear, at specific points, which produce physical and emotional benefits to the patient. Used as an aid for detoxification from alcohol and drugs, Acupuncture treatment also helps during the early stages of recovery by reducing cravings, promoting regular sleep patterns, and giving a feeling of well being. This consequently helps to avert relapse by calming the mind and body and allowing stress and anxiety to be dealt with.

The needles are left in place for about half an hour. Thereafter, the needles are removed, and magnetic pellets are inserted in three of the 5 points and pressed, these produce supplementary benefits later. The treatment makes the patient feel relaxed and during or soon after treatment, the patient may fall asleep.
All needles should be new, sterile, and then disposed of after being used once in the recommended manner.
