Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thornton, NH.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Thornton that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring 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 on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications 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 clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
