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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Florence that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require 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 on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would 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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
