Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Windham, CT.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs 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 North Windham that individuals can choose from. Different substances present 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. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
