Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Windsor, CT.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Windsor that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home 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 detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
