The length of time it takes for your body to detox from recreational drugs or alcohol varies depending on the drug you have become addicted to, and on your individual addiction history.
Physical withdrawal from a chemical addiction can be very frightening and difficult to experience on our own and this is why many people choose a residential detox program. A program such as that offered at South Pacific Private assists recovery in a safe, medically managed drug detoxification plan where doctors and nursing staff can monitor overall health while the body is detoxing and, if necessary, offer appropriate medications to support a more comfortable and controlled detox and recovery.
Physical withdrawal symptoms may include:
|

- Increased craving for the substance(s)

Experiencing detoxification in a treatment centre such as South Pacific Private can also help with the issue of emotional dependence because you're detoxing in a supportive, 'drug-free' environment where peer and therapist support is available. After your assessment you will be advised if SPP's detox support is suitable for you. In some cases we may ask you undertake detox before coming to SPP.
Detox can also be a part of a full rehab program for addicts who wish to gain full recovery from alcohol dependence or drug addiction.
