Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Shiprock, NM.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Shiprock that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
