Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Duke Center, PA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Duke Center that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
