Understanding Detox at pH Wellness
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.
