Crack cocaine detox is the detoxification of the blood stream and the physical body. The detox process is the first step in the recovery process, because the physical body must be cleansed of the drug to achieve the physical sobriety needed for the rest of the treatment. During this process the body struggles to find some sort of equilibrium but is often unable to do so since the body is so dependent upon drugs to function. For many users the physical detoxification process is too trying on their body and mind, thus leading them back to the streets and to crack. For this reason, and many others, the crack cocaine detox should always be performed at a licensed medical facility. Another reason that the crack cocaine detox should be performed at a medical facility is to keep any altercations or problems to a minimum. An addict's body and mind have become so addicted to crack that he/she thinks that it is impossible to live without it. During the crack cocaine detox process, a physician or specialist should be present at all times to oversee the process and deal with any problems as they arise. If the levels of drugs occurring in the addict's bloodstream are extremely high, the physician might decide that the addict needs certain medication or other treatment during the detox. In some cases pharmaceuticals are administered for patients who are unable to go through the detox 'cold turkey'. These pharmaceuticals are used to help the body detox off the drugs in the safest way possible. In order for an addict to become sober and begin recovery, they must first physically detox off of the drug to which they are addicted. Until the drug is out of the body, it is almost impossible to begin any successful treatment program. The word 'detox' is used, because crack cocaine and all other drugs are toxins that negatively affect a person's body and mind. The detox process is necessary to rid the body of all drug related toxins and chemicals that are unnatural and abusive.
