Alcohol Abuse Detox: Alcohol ? Drug Detox

Alcohol or drug detoxification is the first step to overcoming addiction and is the process of ridding the body of the toxins which have accumulated through drug or alcohol abuse. In most cases, the withdrawal stage that addicts go through when they discontinue use of their preferred substance typically begins with physical symptoms which can vary in intensity depending upon how long the substance has been used and the level of use. When those who are suffering from substance abuse problems face these symptoms alone, it is often at this stage that they revert to their former habits in order to satisfy their cravings. Without full detoxification, however, residues of the substance can remain in the system and create cravings which last for many years after the substance abuse has been stopped.

Detoxification is not only a process which concerns getting through physical withdrawal, however. Leaving behind an addiction also requires psychological and mental readjustment, as well as changing thought processes and behaviours which may have led to the addiction or caused it to be perpetuated. For this reason, it is vital that treatment which is aimed at overcoming drug and/or alcohol dependence covers all aspects of withdrawal and focuses on providing patients with the tools to ensure long-lasting recovery.

There is not, or at least there should not be, a standard detoxification programme which is aimed at taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach to treatment. Every individual case is different and requires a customised plan to see patients through the process in a way which is both safe and effective. At Los Olivos, our team of experts not only has exceptional skills and training to provide a gentle and individualised detoxification programme, but the experience gained over many years of leading those with drug and alcohol abuse successfully through rehabilitation.

In the tranquil family environment of our superb facility in the stunning region of Lake Vinuela in southern Spain’s province of Malaga, every stage of your detoxification will be monitored and accompanied by round the clock medical treatment and care as required. As part of our holistic approach to treatment, we not only work with you to ensure that the process is safe, but we also use regular therapy and counselling sessions in individual and group settings which are designed to get to the root of the addiction and to help you deal with the emotional and psychological distress which is often the forerunner of addiction and which typically accompanies successful rehabilitation. When patients leave Los Olivos, they also benefit from our aftercare services which ensure continued support upon their return to their home country.
