Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hoonah, AK.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Hoonah that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
