Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lake Hopatcong, NJ.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Lake Hopatcong that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
