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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Northwood that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might 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.
