Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Stamford, CT.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Stamford that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
