Detoxing is an important step in the recovery process. If you’re preparing to detox, then this blog is for you. In this blog, we’re going to go over some ways that you can prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for detox. As always, feel free to reach out to our Avalon Malibu staff if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
Preparing to Detox
If you’re going to be entering the detox phase of recovery, there are a few different things you should know. Let’s dive into some of the top things to keep in mind if you’re going to be detoxing. Don’t be afraid to think about your situation and anything that would make you feel more secure and comfortable during the first stages of the recovery process.
Consult a Professional
One of the most helpful things you can do is speak with a professional about what you may experience. They’ll be able to answer your questions and help you make sure that you’re on the right track.
If you’re not sure where to find a professional to speak with, consider our Avalon Malibu team. We provide detox services and can help you with the preparation process.
Seek Guidance
Detoxing can be dangerous if you do it on your own without the care and supervision of professionals. It’s typically recommended that you detox with the support of a professional who can provide you with guidance and any medical care if necessary.
Get Support
Detoxing can be emotionally and physically draining. Having the support of people (whether they are professionals or friends and family) can make all the difference. Before you begin the detox process, consider making a list of people who you can rely on for support during difficult moments.
Having a list of people written down can be a great visual that can pull you through difficult moments and help you remember that you’re not alone.
Detox can be overwhelming and we understand that. If you’d like to learn more about the detox process and what you can expect, you can give us a call at (844) 857-5992. We’ll be happy to provide you with more information and give you an idea of what our detox is like at Avalon Malibu. We hope to hear from you soon so that we can begin a discussion about ways that you can safely detox under the care and guidance of a professional.
