When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are various different types of detox in or near Caribou that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
