Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Huntington, VT.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Huntington that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
