Can you explain the difference between a detox center and an addiction treatment center? Are they interchangeable terms?

I told her how wonderful she had gotten through all that and was off drugs. She looked me in the eyes and said" I am an addict, I will always be an addict. I deny myself and I want it. But, I go back to I am an addict…..jww
God and their Church is the main part of their life. She had to move away from her parents, family, friends who were addicts. That was the best thing she could have done.
This young woman had been on drugs most of her life. She experienced a terrible crime when a toddler From that her mother was an addict , her biological father was alcoholic and drugs. She was extremely popular, in all school activities. But, anxiety and depression, terrible marriage to an addict. She went through bulimia, anorexia, spiraling down. Family distfunctiol understatement. She was suicidal taking Tylenol over dose and trying to end all with any kind of drugs. She had a son but lost custody of him. She was under supervision from DFACs to see her son.
It's not pleasant, but it's necessary. To try and do it on your own , is almost a sure death sentence.
She had a great job computer and brilliant designer. One day on her way to gym, she was hit by of all things and ambulance, ran red light.
She was under Defacs and therapy, but she kept doing drugs and DFACs caught her. It was all over for her ever to get her child back. These are just some of her horrible story. It was detox or lose her son. So she checked in and started. I guess she was given something, to help her come off. I don't know. Because she was a known addict, there was a person watching her and her son. She said that she lived through it detoxed. But, she knew now how bad an addict she was and definitely knew what a conniving person she was.

The DFACs Worker believed she wanted her child forever So she got her into a place that takes addicts and if they make it without suicide, They eventually help them get a job. So, it's a two year program . Women and their children , once they get them back on trial basis. The child came and about a year. Her son and her lived in this dorm shared with others. They had one room of their own the rest was open She worked cleaning, doing dishes whatever they were assigned.. She had therapists, counselor and therapy with her son .
She is an addict, addicted to I guess, any kind of medicine. She wants it. But her life long struggle as an addict for her son She has a great job, supports her and her son.
I understand what she meant when she would never admit she was an addict. She may have said recreational drugs. But, it was pure destruction. As an addict she said she knew this was a life time name for her. She can't be around anything without wanting to take it. But 5 years she said. She says she cannot be around certain meds prescribed for her son
A Detox Center is the place an addict goes to, have medical, life saving treatment. In case it's needed. Detox means you want to get off the drugs, and get clean.
A young woman talked to me about her experience in Detox. Number one you can only do this to get off the drugs. It's too hard too horrible. But, it's the end of the road. Time to make it happen, or not.
You won't go there and find anything easy, Except you have medical people watching you. For signs of problems you need a doctor.
