Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Edmonds, WA

Drug detox is part of recovery for a lot of people who are admitted to Edmonds drug treatment centers. The purpose of detox is to reduce the concentration of intoxicants in your system while minimizing the symptoms of withdrawal, such as nausea, vomiting, muscle spasms, seizures, anxiety, agitation and tremors.

The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has broken down the levels of detox into five categories. In an inpatient facility, such as a hospital or residential rehab center, you may receive intensive detox services, which are supervised by clinicians. In an outpatient clinic, you may receive a less intensive version of medical detox with limited monitoring. Social detoxification, which includes counseling, group therapy and environmental support, is provided in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

As you prepare to start rehabilitation, you may experience a spectrum of emotions, from excitement to fear or anger. Working through these powerful emotions requires more than a brief detox treatment.
