Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Cordova, AK.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Cordova that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
