Detoxification

The first step of our treatment program is our detoxification process. After an individual has abused an addictive drug regularly for a period of time a physical dependence develops for the drug. Once dependence or addiction has developed it is often not medically safe to abruptly discontinue use without professional assistance from a medical detox process. Addictive substances such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, meth, xanax, fentanyl and many others produce a wide range of withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, insomnia, muscle aches, sweating, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea and more.

At Drug Treatment Program Albuquerque we offer the needed medical assistance to help out clients be as safe and comfortable as possible in the detoxification period. We provide 24 hour care and support during this critical first phase in the treatment process. Program participants often say that they feel a great sense of accomplishment once they have finished the detox phase of the program.

A vital step in overcoming addiction is to acknowledge that you have a problem. A person who refuses to accept they are addicted cannot take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to confronting their addiction problem, also requires the individual to look at how and why it developed in the first place. Addiction commonly occurs when someone starts taking the drug or alcohol to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to deal with negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't recognize the underlying issues guiding their addiction and does not accept help, it will be extremely difficult for them to conquer their addiction.

Accepting that you have a problem is an extremely important part of recovery from alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you also need to have the desire to put forth the effort to change your life. Taking inventory of the reasons for making a change keep you focused and motivated on rehabilitation. Many say it helps to write down why they want to change. Reasons could include wanting to be a better mother/father, be a happier person overall, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to improve your health, or to reverse other negative situations that addiction causes.

Do not just focus on the circumstances and problems caused by your substance abuse, because focusing in on the negative aspects of the past can make you feel hopeless. Instead, focus on your new addiction-free life and the recovery process. Think about the positive things that will surely happen when you have conquered your addiction.
