Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ascutney, VT.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Ascutney that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce 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 drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
