Addiction is a chronic relapsing disease that results in dysfunction of the nervous system as a result of reward, memory, and motivation changes. Due to the changes that occur in the brain and nervous system, the body begins to rely on a substance. Dependence on a substance means that when you stop using drugs or alcohol, you experience withdrawal symptoms, which is discomfort that leads you to use drugs and alcohol again. However, detox at pH Wellness can help you to safely heal from dependence on drugs or alcohol and find balance in your life that helps you to achieve long-term recovery.


Drug and Alcohol Dependence

The initial use of drugs or alcohol is generally voluntary. However, the change towards being dependent can happen very quickly. After even one or two uses of a substance, changes occur in the brain and nervous system. Essentially, your brain is hijacked by substances, using pleasure-seeking centers of the brain to drive you towards more substance use.

Over time, the more you use a substance, the more that your body becomes accustomed to it. This results in your body being dependent or addicted to a substance. As such, when you do not use a substance, you experience withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms are unique to you and depend on the length of time you have used a substance, the type of substance, and your unique biology. However, common withdrawal symptoms include:

  • Muscle pain or aches
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Changes in appetite
  • Weight changes
  • Sleep disruptions
  • Fatigue
  • Sweating
  • Trembling
  • Seizures
  • Paranoia

As you can see, the symptoms of withdrawal vary greatly. However, they can be dangerous, and as such, going through detox at pH Wellness will help you to safely get through the process.

Support

There are a significant amount of stigmas surrounding addiction. Maybe you have undergone detox before, either at home or in a treatment center. If you have, you might be concerned about the environment of a detox program.

These concerns are valid. The detox program at pH Wellness is aware of the stigmatization that surrounds addiction. You are cared for and supported through the process with encouragement that will help you to believe that you can change. Detox is the beginning of the process of rebuilding. When you have the support you need, you can be successful in your recovery.

Taking the First Step in Detox at pH Wellness

When you are struggling with the constant need for a substance, the road to recovery looks long. However, you can take one step at a time. Detox at pH Wellness is a good first step. It helps you to get on the road that you want to take, moving you towards your ultimate goal of recovery and refining balance in your life.

Detox is uncomfortable. There is no way around it. However, it does not mean that you can skip it. When you try to skip past detox, you do not give yourself the chance to heal. It is only with the changes that detox makes that you can heal.

This is because, during detox, your brain and nervous system begin the process of healing. When they do, they allow you to think more clearly, make plans for your future, and learn new tools that will help you in recovery. If you feel like you are not able to do so now, detox will help you to get to a place where you can leave addiction behind.


When you struggle with addiction, your brain and body are dependent on a substance. As a result, you are compulsively making choices that lead you back to substances. However, there is hope, and this can change your life. At pH Wellness, we know that making changes is difficult. Therefore, we offer a comprehensive detox program that will jump-start your recovery with individualized care, a supportive environment, and specialized programs that suit your specific needs in detoxification. If you need help to take the first step, we can support you. Call us today at (888) 707-3880 to learn more about detox and treatment for addiction and mental health issues at pH Wellness.
