Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - West Orange, NJ.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near West Orange that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would 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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
