Alcohol addiction (better known as alcoholism) is defined as the obsessive, uncontrollable, and persistent use of alcohol. Many alcoholics are “functioning” alcoholics, in that their addiction hasn’t affected their work life or relationships yet. However, alcoholism is a progressive disease, and years of abuse have consequences both physical and emotional. Over time, alcohol abuse increases the likelihood of high-risk behaviors, such as drinking and reckless driving. It interferes with regular brain functioning, and is recognized as the second-leading cause of dementia.

Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive, or uncontrollable, drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences and changes in the brain, which can be long lasting. Drug addiction is also a relapsing disease. The path to drug addiction begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs. When you’re struggling with drug addiction, sobriety can seem like an impossible goal.

Detox is the first step in a comprehensive rehab program that offers all the tools required for recovery. The focus of detoxification is physiological healing after long-term drug or alcohol addiction – first, through stabilization and then through detoxification. Following stabilization, the focus of detox is on the processes of the body as it rids itself of the drug of choice and treating the withdrawal symptoms that result.
