When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Eagle River that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
