Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shenandoah, PA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Shenandoah that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not 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 detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
