Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Portland, ND.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Portland that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as 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 without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
