Today, there are many rehab options to choose from to help you deal with all kinds of addictions and even the co-occurring disorders that go with it. DIY rehab, also called do-it-yourself or at-home rehab is also one of these options.<\/p>\n
Many may have tried DIY rehab, especially those who are hesitant about leaving their families<\/a> or loved ones to go to a residential and in-patient facility. They may also rather not spend monthly fees and do the rehab at home. This, however, is doomed to fail.<\/p>\n DIY rehab has a very low success rate. So if you’re considering DIY rehab, you should know the risks entailed.<\/p>\n DIY rehab means you’re doing things on your own, most likely with minimal to zero medical intervention and assistance. And this can be tricky when you’re in detox and withdrawal.<\/p>\n While DIY rehab can be a cheap and seemingly practical approach to getting clean and sober, it can be dangerous when you’re trying to detoxify. With this, your body goes into withdrawal, which can cause unexpected side effects and complications especially if you have co-occurring conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n Withdrawal side effects can include one or a combination of the following:<\/p>\n These can make withdrawal be very difficult, especially when you don’t have a rehab professional or even a support system to talk you through every step of the way. Furthermore, this can be especially dangerous if you have an underlying medical condition that is aggravated by your withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n If you’re withdrawing from alcohol, DIY rehab can be fatal, because it can lead to seizures, deliriums, tremors, high blood pressure, and death.<\/p>\n When you conduct DIY rehab at home, chances are, there’s not a lot to stop you when severe cravings come. It is an unsupervised setting, and you are still around the same environment where you conduct your active addiction.<\/p>\n Therefore, there’s a good chance that you may use again and this relapse can then snowball as you go back to addiction once more.<\/p>\n A rehab facility is a clean environment free from drugs, alcohol, temptations, and other distractions. You will have the support of your peers, other patients, as well as the expertise of therapists, medical staff, and addiction professionals to help you through cravings, self-doubt, withdrawal, and so many more.<\/p>\nDetox and Withdrawal Risks of DIY Rehab<\/h3>\n
