Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oak Ridge, NJ.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Oak Ridge that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
