Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Whippany, NJ.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Whippany that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred 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 other opiate medications.
