Drug abuse rewires the brain’s grey matter causing fundamental long-lasting changes. Over the years, as the brain regions continue to adjust to the presence of a drug, they experience altered neural connectivity that forms new connections and eliminates older ones. Drugs, alcohol, and other intoxicants also disrupt the regular flow of neurotransmitters that could lower the production of key brain cells. Research further suggests that some brain regions may even shrink over time due to chronic drug use.
Given the way in which drugs and alcohol impact the brain, it is not surprising that once the user stops taking the drug, their bodies struggle to regain equilibrium. As a result, they experience withdrawal symptoms and may require professional substance abuse treatment in a medically supervised environment to manage them.
When drug users quit using addictive substances, they often experience withdrawal symptoms that include uncomfortable physical and mental side effects. These symptoms vary depending on the drug in use. Here are a few examples of drugs and their withdrawal symptoms.
A detox treatment process includes a set of interventions that remove toxins from the body with the help of medications and 24/7 supervision by a nurse while detoxing. This also helps effectively reduce withdrawal symptoms and ensure medical stabilization of the patient.
