Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Gorham, NH.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Gorham that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use 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 in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like 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 on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
