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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Lyme 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 intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which 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 want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
