Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Short Hills, NJ.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Short Hills that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause 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 programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention 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 medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
