Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Amherst, NH.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 various different types of detox in or near Amherst that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
