Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Chesterfield, NJ.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Chesterfield that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like 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 on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
