Understanding the Detox Process
Upon entering the facility, each client undergoes a physical exam and health history conducted by a physician. Wooded Glen Recovery Center’s medical and therapeutic teams then work with each client to develop a plan that addresses individual risk factors for withdrawal in a caring and compassionate manner.
Withdrawal can involve both emotional and physical symptoms as the body adjusts to decreasing levels of drugs or alcohol in the bloodstream. Symptoms vary depending on the type of substance and the length of use, but emotional symptoms may include anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Physical symptoms associated with withdrawal can include nausea, diarrhea, sweating, racing heart, and a feeling of tightness in the chest.
