Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bethel, AK.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Bethel that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
