When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed 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 various different types of detox in or near West Haven that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
