Drug Detox and Drug Rehab
The detoxification procedure is carried out in a hospital, after determining the substance (express testing for the content of narcotic substances and alcohol in the blood), which caused addiction and poisoning of the body. This stage is mandatory for any kind of further residential treatment of the patient.
There are various methods of detoxification: the use of medical preparations, infusion solutions, extracorporeal blood purification (plasmapheresis, hemosorption) and others.
The intensity and duration of detoxification are affected by:
- type of substance used
- duration of administration and dose;
- method of use;
- the presence or absence of concomitant pathologies.
The main task of the procedure is to cleanse the body of psychoactive substances and toxins formed as a result of metabolic processes, and to prevent the development of abstinence or withdrawal syndrome. As a result of the latter, a serious condition of the patient develops, which prevents the refusal of another intake of alcohol, drugs and other psychoactive agents.
