Drug & Alcohol Detox Center in Las Vegas

Detoxing

Ongoing substance use and abuse, whether drugs or alcohol, will eventually lead to harmful physical and psychological consequences. Addiction is a disease that knows no barriers and does not impact the addict alone.

Acknowledging one’s addiction and deciding to seek treatment at a Las Vegas detox program like Lionheart Recovery Center, is one of the most difficult challenges someone struggling with addiction will voluntarily make. The process of detox and withdrawal are not easy and are often accompanied by unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects. Because of this, it is highly recommended that one does not “cold turkey” their detox from alcohol.

Choosing to detox under the supervision of highly trained treatment staff who understand the difficulties of withdrawal can help ensure greater opportunities for success in achieving sobriety while reducing the chances for relapse. Lionheart Recovery offers a state-of-the-art detoxification program that offers truly innovative therapies to assist with the withdrawal process and ease our client’s discomforts.

How to Know if Detox is Necessary

Why Do I Need Detox?

The road to recovery from alcohol or drug addiction requires many steps. The first of these is withdrawing and detoxing from your substance of choice. Detox and withdrawal are essential to success throughout the treatment process due to how alcohol and drugs impact the body. 

Similar effects on the brain and body occur when someone struggles with an addiction to drugs. Many drugs impact the brain directly by mimicking the effects of specific pleasure neurotransmitters (such as dopamine) naturally produced in the brain. When someone frequently uses or has been struggling with an ongoing addiction, they often experience difficulties feeling pleasure or joy from “normal” everyday activities as the brain simply cannot produce enough dopamine to achieve such a high level of euphoria. As with alcohol, someone who has developed a tolerance for drugs will continue to use more and more to achieve the effects they remember from their first use.

Withdrawal is the array of symptoms one experiences when they suddenly stop drinking or using. Symptoms of withdrawal can occur by reducing the amount they use or drink as well. Symptoms of withdrawal vary from person to person and can range from mild to life-threatening. The severity of the symptoms each person experiences is unique to their addiction. They will vary based on how much they use, how often they use, and how long they have struggled with a substance use disorder. It is vital for regular users or heavy drinkers to undergo detox at a facility like Lionheart Recovery Center in Las Vegas, where they can receive 24/7 medical supervision while they safely detox.

Preparing to Enter a Drug & Alcohol Detox Center

What to Expect When I Enter a Drug Detox in Las Vegas

For many addicts who enter treatment, detox is the first and vital step required to cleanse the body of any substances that may remain. Only after your system is “clean” is it possible to fully immerse yourself in a drug and alcohol treatment program. While many may consider quitting “cold turkey” easier than taking time out of their lives to go to rehab, it is vital to remember that attempting to quit drugs or alcohol without comprehensive medical support can, in some cases, be dangerous and often leads to relapse. 

When you enter detox at Lionheart Recovery, you will intentionally stop drinking alcohol and using drugs to give your body time to learn how to function without the aid or influence of substances. The process of detoxing can be unpleasant and scary as the body has become accustomed to performing with a certain amount of an addictive substance. The organs and the brain will begin to alter how they function to accommodate the reduction in substances and help to flush any remaining drugs or alcohol from your body. During detox, the body is not getting the substances it craves, and a variety of unpleasant effects known as withdrawal symptoms often occur. These can include nausea, tremors, gastric problems, dizziness, and elevated heart rate. In the most severe cases, seizures, abnormal heartbeat (palpitations), and other life-threatening conditions can occur. 

At our boutique drug rehab in Las Vegas, our highly-trained, expert staff will provide medical supervision, support, and guidance throughout the detox process. This helps ensure support is available to mitigate unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and ensure proper care if you experience severe symptoms during the detox process. Once detox is complete, it is highly suggested that you transition into a comprehensive residential program to continue your sobriety journey. Luckily, Lionheart Recovery Center offers just that.
