Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Dover, VT.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near East Dover that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
