Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Damascus, OR.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Damascus that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
