Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Centerbrook, CT.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility 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 a number of different types of detox in or near Centerbrook that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
