Hope Recovery Oklahoma, Rehabilitation Services

Alcoholism is a long-term chronic disease in which a person has developed an unhealthy addiction to alcohol. It goes by several names, including “alcohol dependence syndrome” and “alcohol use disorder”. As the brain acclimates to the changes brought about by introducing an addictive substance into its normal functioning, the drug becomes necessary to maintain the new level of homeostasis. Detox is the first step in a comprehensive rehab program that offers all the tools required for recovery. The focus of detoxification is physiological healing after long-term drug or alcohol addiction – first, through stabilization and then through detoxification.
