Drug and Alcohol Detox Centers
Once you've made up your mind to dry out and get clean, you
need to spend time in a Detox Center where doctors, nurses and
other medical professionals help you get through your
withdrawal.
This supervised withdrawal is not pleasant, but it is
necessary to clear your body of all toxic substances... drugs,
alcohol and other impurities.
During this time you'll be counselled by trained
professionals such as drug and alcohol counsellors, doctors and
other trained therapists.
You can expect to be kept within the four walls of the detox
center. This is to make sure you can't 'bust' by getting out
and scoring some drink or drugs while you're getting clean.
I know of one center which would throw you out if you
'busted' and scored something from outside. A good friend of
mine used to work there, and I used to visit him at work.
Another friend used to attend AA meetings at the same
facility. I don't know what the rules will be when you do your
detox, but I expect they'll be similar.
