Charlotte Detox Center

Detoxification is a vitally important process in the overall path to recovery. If someone experiences a very difficult time during withdrawal then it is often likely that he or she will resort back to drug or alcohol use in an attempt to make those unwanted feelings subside. A safe and effective detox center will help someone in Charlotte set the stage for a successful recovery by getting the person stably withdrawn and ready for inpatient treatment or follow-up counseling.

Ther are generally two categories of detox centers – medical detox (also known as hospital inpatient) and social/non-medical (drug-free). With heavy amounts of alcohol, heroin or other opaites, and the wide range of prescription drugs people are using today, a medically-supervised detox center is usually your best choice. Sometimes people who are addicted to opiates are offered to go on a long-term outpatient detox using a tapering process with methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone), but often these people still need an inpatient detox center as a result of becoming dependent on the replacement drugs.
