How do I find a good drug rehab clinic?
Doctors and especially drug counseling centers can help to find a suitable clinic. The latter can be found in almost all cities. They give advice, refer people to institutions and help prepare for withdrawal.
They are available at any time, even during or after therapy. The goal is a drug-free life and reintegration into society. Contact details of counseling centers can be obtained from doctors or city administrations and can be researched on the Internet.
One can also search directly online for suitable withdrawal facilities. There are numerous clinic directories, for example from the Fachverband Sucht e. V. , on therapy places. de.
, at “jameda” or on drugs. net. There are also many private clinics with their own websites. It is advisable to search directly for the desired region and, if necessary, for specializations (alcohol withdrawal, opiod withdrawal, etc. ).
Can I do drug withdrawal at home?
This depends on the drug, the duration and quantity of use. Nicotine, cannabinoids (marijuana) and hallucinogens (LSD, mescaline) cause relatively mild withdrawal symptoms and can theoretically be weaned at home. However, medically and/or psychotherapeutically accompanied withdrawal is safer and more promising.
This can be done on an inpatient basis (in a medical facility) or on an outpatient basis (accompaniment during regular appointments). It is advisable to consult the family doctor before attempting withdrawal and to decide together on the individual procedure. If you have already started withdrawal on your own, a doctor should always be consulted if you experience restlessness, anxiety attacks or other psychological or physical problems.
In the case of harder drugs (e.g. heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, alcohol, tranquilizers) as well as strong addiction, a hospital or a special detoxification clinic should be consulted in any case. The withdrawal symptoms can be life-threatening depending on the substance. Circulatory problems, seizures, as well as extraneous or self-damaging states of confusion are possible.A medical accompaniment is strongly recommended.
In this way, withdrawal can be professionally monitored and quick action taken in case of problems. In addition, symptoms during detoxification can be significantly alleviated by medication. Overall, it should be emphasized that the chances of success are significantly higher with professional support.
