Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Norfolk, CT.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Norfolk that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards 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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
