The initial stages of addiction recovery are physically and emotionally taxing. The body and the brain need time to heal and revert back to normal stasis without a constant flow of drugs or alcohol. This change almost always means long-term withdrawal symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. Any quality addiction treatment facility should incorporate the management of short-term and long-term physiological symptoms as part of their overall treatment strategy. This includes offering every possible therapy to help patients heal, mind, body and soul.
