Excuse for Leaving Detox or Rehab Early: Detox is Too Painful

Getting an addict to go to detox or rehab is a difficult situation. Getting an addict to stay in detox or rehab is even more difficult. There can be many different reasons or excuses why an addict won’t attend or will try to leave early from addiction treatment, and they’re all just a means to one end—not recovering. Here’s a common reason why someone would leave detox or rehab:

Detox is too painful for me: Detox can truly be a painful experience depending on the individual situation, but there are healthy ways to cope with the pain. First of all, the addict should go into detox expecting pain, so the pain factor should not be a surprise. But when you choose a detox and rehab facility like Seabrook House, there are many complimentary therapies that are accompanied by the detox treatment in order to ensure your comfort. Included in these therapies are: acupuncture, EMDR & Brainspotting, equine assisted therapy, music therapy, reflexology, reiki, and therapeutic chair massage. All of the complimentary therapies offered at Seabrook House are just one of the many reasons why choosing Seabrook results in lasting recovery.
