withdrawal management

Withdrawal management refers to a process aimed at helping individuals safely and effectively cope with the symptoms that arise when they stop using a substance, such as alcohol or drugs. This process often occurs in a specialized treatment facility where medical professionals monitor and support the person through physical and psychological discomfort. The goal is to minimize withdrawal symptoms, prevent complications, and help the individual stabilize before starting further treatment for substance use or addiction. It is an essential first step for many on the road to recovery.
