Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Greendell, NJ.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Greendell that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
