Ways to Stay Safe During Detox & Withdrawal
​Prescription pain medication is quickly becoming a leading cause of drug overuse and abuse in the United States.

Although many people start taking prescription drugs as part of a prescribed treatment plan, more and more people do not (or cannot) stop taking them when their treatment course is done, and then develop a dependency upon them. 

In an effort to stop taking the medicine, people try to quit “cold turkey” and experience painful and dangerous withdrawal symptoms. 

That’s where a medically supervised detox can help.

Dan Tollman shares ways to make medically safe detoxes available to more and more people. 

He discusses how to make sure you stay safe during detox and withdrawal and why medically supervised detoxes are essential.
