Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ketchikan, AK.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Ketchikan that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
