When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Adak that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
