The term alcohol detox is used for describing the treatment for addiction to alcohol, which is done in alcohol detox centers, and is intended to rid the body of the addictive substances. These alcohol detox centers provide for physiological and mental readjustment which is followed by the process of leaving alcohol and refers to the physical withdrawal symptoms of alcohol abuse. The alcohol detox centers help you to get over alcohol dependence, alcoholism or alcohol addiction and cope up with the psychological symptoms.
These alcohol detox centers also help in getting over alcohol withdrawal, which happens when the person’s body becomes dependant upon alcohol but the consumption of alcohol is discontinued. Hence because of the intensity and severity these withdrawal symptoms there are physical and mental problems including increased hand tremors, insomnia, nausea, physical agitation, anxiety, and various other problems. Alcohol detox centers help in coping up with these physical and emotional symptoms.

Oxazepam (Alepam, Medopam, Murelax, Noripam, Ox-Pam, Purata, Serax, Serepax) is commonly prescribed to help with alcohol withdrawal, as it’s a benzodiazepine derivative, instead of a full-on benzodiazepine like Xanax or Klonopin, which can easily transfer the addiction (even though these are prescribed for it as well.) What I’m wondering is if it would also help with the symptoms of someone with a physical addiction to marijuana once they have stopped?
Every expert on alcohol treatment maintains that the aftercare that follows the detox treatment is more important than the actual detoxification process itself. This point of view is very staunchly held by the alcohol treatment program in Hawaii. When a person is detoxified, it is only the body of the person that is cleansed. What is actually done is that the accumulated toxins are removed. These toxins could have gathered over the years of their alcohol abuse. It becomes very important to remove these toxins without which the person will not be able to overcome the pangs for the substance and will always carry the risk of some or the other health complication.
Necessary though the detoxification process is, the aftercare is much more important. This is the part of the treatment where the person’s mind is conditioned in a way so as to work out the temptation for the substance. The person is taught various methods that can help keep the cravings away. This is what actually brings the person to a more sustainable method of addiction treatment. While the detox treatment can cleanse the body of the person, it is the aftercare that actually teaches the person how to completely stay away from the substance.

An addict is a person who has an uncontrollable compulsion to repeat a behavior regardless of its negative consequence. There are many drugs that can lead to a condition recognized as addiction. The common symptoms are a craving for more of the drug, increased psychological tolerance to exposure, and withdrawal symptoms in the absence of the stimulus. A risk of dependency exists in most drugs that directly provide pleasure or relief.
There are two types of dependency – physical and psychological. Physical dependency on a substance is defined by the appearance of characteristic withdrawal symptoms when the drug is suddenly discontinued. Opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, alcohol and nicotine are well known addictive drugs known for their ability to induce physical dependence. Cortisone, beta-blockers and most antidepressants are examples of similar such drugs, but they are not addictive. Some highly addictive drugs, such as cocaine, induce little physical dependence too. The main characteristic of an addictive drug is its ability to induce euphoria while causing harm.
