Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gaston, OR.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated 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 various different types of detox in or near Gaston that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
