Drug Withdrawal
Drug dependence refers to compulsive use of a drug, not for medical reasons. Some of the common substances that are abused are opium, codeine, heroin, cocaine, amphetamines since they have a stimulating effect. Some barbiturates have a soothing and numbing effect on the central nervous system. Drug withdrawal therapy or detoxification treatment is aimed at aiding a drug addict in reducing or eliminating the dependence on the substance. Drug withdrawal leads to symptoms such as:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Nervousness and shaking
- Drenching sweats
- Seizures
This occurs because the nervous system is disrupted. It is essential that drug withdrawal is done systematically and gradually. Otherwise the drug withdrawal symptoms can be very severe and often dangerous. Detoxification is most often carried on in a center geared towards helping drug addicts in getting rid of the drug abuse or substance addiction.
