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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Durham that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. 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 without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
