Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - West Greenwich, RI.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near West Greenwich that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
