Drug Rehab and Health

People who have abused alcohol and drugs for years are likely to be suffering from poor health. For this purpose, drug rehab and health are closely linked to a successful recovery.

Mind, body and spirit are interconnected. In order to reach a state of optimal health, those entering drug rehab must be aware of wounds that need to be healed in every area. At SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, all clients receive a clinical evaluation to determine underlying issues on multiple levels. Any number of factors can contribute to substance abuse. Genetics, family dynamics, chemical imbalance, childhood or adult trauma or abuse, physical ailments or emotional issues can all contribute to the need to escape or self-medicate. Mind, body and spirit are so intertwined that when one suffers, all suffers. For this purpose, drug rehab and health must co-exist in order to help an individual reach a balanced state necessary to maintain sobriety.

We start with the body because until the body is free of drugs and alcohol little else can be done. SouthCoast Recovery’s drug rehab center offers a medical doctor to supervise the detoxification process and manage withdrawal symptoms. Drug and alcohol detox can be stressful on the body. A medical doctor can help diagnose any minor or major ailments that you may have received and/or neglected while in your alcoholism or drug addiction. Tests can be run to determine whether your glands are functioning normally, whether you have any allergies that can be causing imbalance and also whether your immune system is working effectively.

Lab tests are immensely helpful in diagnosing deficiencies. Alcoholism and drug addiction can damage the body and internal organs in ways that cannot be seen by outward appearances. Alcohol is particularly damaging to the liver, resulting in liver disease and cirrhosis. It can also cause direct damage to the pancreas, esophagus and stomach, resulting in gastrointestinal disorders. A complete blood work-up can detect a multitude of symptoms that can be contributing to your body’s imbalance.

When it comes to drug rehab and health, ask your doctor about the possibility of various cleanses to help detoxify your body from the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction. These will clear your body and your mind as well as increase your vitality within a short period of time. It’s also important to inquire about nutritional supplements, herbs, diet and other lifestyle changes to support your health during your treatment regime and beyond.
