Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - North Bennington, VT.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near North Bennington that people can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
