Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Clark, PA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Clark that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about 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. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
