Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - West Hartland, CT.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near West Hartland that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.

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

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
