Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Lyme Center, NH.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs 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 Lyme Center that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
