Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Big Lake, AK.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Big Lake that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs provide 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
