Drug detoxification and rehabilitation, and alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation have a single main focus, which is to remove all toxins from the body that had accumulated during the period of drug use. There are a variety of different ways to accomplish this, and in North Carolina there are a myriad of different treatment centers and rehab facilities that can help you if you are looking to kick a bad habit. Each of these addiction recovery and rehab facilities has its own unique take on the rehabilitation process, which means you will encounter a number of different drug and alcohol detoxification philosophies along the way.

It is believed that one of the safest and one of the most effective ways to detoxify from drug abuse or alcoholism is to take a medically based approach. What medically based means, is that the drug or alcohol rehabilitation process will make use of medicines to counteract the effects of the drugs, lessening the symptoms associated with detoxification and withdrawal from the addiction. There are two aspects to withdrawal from drug abuse or alcoholism:

The first is the physical aspect, which can cause flu like symptoms, pain and other discomfort, and the second is the emotional or psychological aspect, which can involve self image problems and bad habits that need to be counteracted for rehabilitation success. Most medically based rehabilitation facilities offer twenty four hour support in the form of nursing staff, physicians and even counseling in some but not all occasions.

When a person is battling an addiction to alcohol or drugs, and they decide to discontinue the use of said drug or alcohol, they are going to have to contend with drug withdrawal symptoms or alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which can be a difficult aspect of the addiction recovery process. There are a set of physical withdrawal symptoms, and another set of mental withdrawal symptoms, and this two fold withdrawal process can be arduous.

One of the primary focuses of a North Carolina drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is going to be not only to manage the symptoms that are associated with drug abuse and alcoholism withdrawal, but also to minimize the symptoms in order to eliminate the cravings. This is most commonly accomplished through the dispensing and administering of detoxification medications, which lessen the effects of the detoxification process, making it simpler for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts to get through the most difficult part of the process.

Alcohol rehab and drug rehab are essentially the same thing, with the largest difference laying in what drug is addicted to. Because many people have a dual diagnosis, meaning they are addicted to drugs and to alcohol, most alcohol and drug rehab centers are combined to create one detoxification and rehabilitation solution for everyone who requires it.
