This is one of the most important aspects of the rehabilitation period, as this is time where you stop drinking “cold turkey” in order to let the alcohol or drugs leave your blood stream. It sounds easy, but is actually very difficult. Withdrawal symptoms can be very difficult to deal with , and in some cases it can lead to serious and lasting damages to your health. That is why it is important that you do the withdrawal period at a medical clinic such as Cassiobury Court.
