SUMMARY - Detox & Withdrawal Services
A man checks into a detox facility, his body already beginning to shake as the alcohol leaves his system. He has been drinking heavily for years, and stopping without medical supervision could kill him. The next few days will be some of the hardest of his life, his body rebelling against the absence of the substance it has come to need. A woman lies on a bed in a withdrawal management unit, sweating through opioid withdrawal, every nerve on fire, her body screaming for the drug she is trying to leave behind.
