Detox

In order to overcome an addiction, you must be prepared both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, the harmful chemicals and substances that are the source of your addiction can make the recovery process difficult as it impairs your judgment, affect your thoughts, creates debilitating side effects and symptoms, and prevents you from processing your emotions in a healthy way. That is why we here at Soul Detox place such an emphasis on detoxification. Detoxification is used to safely remove those harmful chemicals and substances from your body so you can start the journey to addiction recovery with a clear mind and body. Learn more about the detoxification process and discover why it is such a valuable addiction recovery service.

Taking a Closer Look at Detoxification

The harmful chemicals and substances that cause addictions can result in physical and chemical changes to the brain. These changes can result in a number of problems ranging from harmful physical side effects and intense cravings to impaired judgment and an inability to think clearly which can make the recovery process difficult.

Detoxification, or detox as it is commonly called, is a process that safely removes harmful chemicals or substances from the body. By removing the harmful chemicals and substances, you improve your physical and mental health. Once your physical and mental health is improved, you can devote yourself to fully taking part in the addiction recovery treatment process.

Detox can help remove the following harmful chemicals and substances from the body:

  • Methamphetamines
  • Opiates
  • Prescription drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Marijuana
  • Cocaine

It is important that you don’t try detoxification yourself. While it may seem like removing the chemicals or substances is an easy process, it isn’t. In fact, if it isn’t done properly it could cause intense physical side effects and even result in death.
