What Are The Signs I Need Sub-Acute Detox?
Geometrically, acute is a type of angle, as well as triangle, which is less than ninety degrees. Acute indicates something small. Medically, acute is not small. Most often, something acute in regards to the mind or the body is problematic. By definition, acute means something that is of a bad, difficult, or unwelcome, situation. Acute means experiencing something that is severe, critical, drastic, dire, awful, serious, and even dangerous. Sub-acute specifically means somewhere between states of an acute and chronic condition.
If you are experiencing severe symptoms of withdrawal, you are in need of sub-acute detox. It needs to be understood very clearly that detox from drugs and alcohol can be deadly. The body is ridding itself of toxins that it has survived on for potentially many years. Even after just a short period of using which might have included very heavy using, the body is fighting against itself to simultaneously hold onto as well as let go of the toxic chemicals inside the brain and body. Sub-acute detox is a controlled and supervised environment where clients are under 24/7 supervision so that every symptom can be examined and assessed by a professional. In case of an emergency or signs of a problem, a professional and trained nurse can make the necessary arrangements or provide treatment immediately.
Sub-acute detox services take care of the mind and the body by creating an environment as safe and comfortable as possible. The detox experience is not pleasant. Physically, clients are in pain, feel sick, are sweating, shaking, shivering, and are restless. Psychologically, clients are experiencing obsessive thoughts, severe cravings, and a compulsive urge to drink or use. Even though it was drugs and alcohol that brought them to this state, it is drugs and alcohol that they believe would fix the problems they are facing.

- Vomiting
