Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Saxman, AK.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Saxman that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications 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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done 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 need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
