Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Hope, AK.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center 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 few different types of detox in or near Hope that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
