Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Eagle, AK.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Eagle that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
