                                            If you, or someone you love, has recognised their alcohol or drug use is problematic, the idea of detoxing at home or going “cold turkey” might seem like a good first step. But the truth is, self-detox can be extremely risky, and in some cases, life-threatening.
When the body has become dependent on substances, suddenly stopping can send it into shock. This can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, hallucinations, vomiting, intense pain, depression, and, in extreme cases, permanent damage. For many, the experience is so overwhelming that it discourages future attempts at recovery.
That’s why a medically supervised detox is always the safest choice. Beyond the physical process, we also provide access to mental health support, quick admission pathways, and structured programs designed to guide clients toward long-term recovery.
No one chooses addiction, and everyone deserves safe, effective care. Reach out to the team today on 1300 856 847 or email reception@haderclinicqld.com.au
