Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wrangell, AK.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated 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 various different types of detox in or near Wrangell that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
