Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Scranton, ND.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Scranton that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce 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.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
