Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Poultney, VT.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised 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 of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near East Poultney that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require 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 with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will 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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
