Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - North Thetford, VT.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near North Thetford that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
