Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Middletown Springs, VT.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Middletown Springs that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
