Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Canterbury, NH.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of 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 Canterbury that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, 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 severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
