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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center 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 a number of different types of detox in or near Haverhill that individuals can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
