Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Avon, CT.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Avon that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual 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 some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
