Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Montpelier, VT.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near Montpelier that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

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

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
