When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near Salem that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. 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 on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save your life.
Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
