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

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near North Montpelier that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need 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. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
