How can I avoid the physical and emotional pain of withdrawal?

Entering a treatment and rehab center that provides medical monitoring and support for detox is the best way to avoid the difficult and painful symptoms of withdrawal. Generally this is done by an inpatient stay, but for some patients detox can be managed via an outpatient program.

Attempting detox by oneself can be difficult and discouraging. Withdrawal can be very different for each individual, depending on the addiction and substance being abused.
