When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are various different types of detox in or near Juneau that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.
Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to.
