Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Harwood, ND.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Harwood that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
