Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Norwich, VT.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Norwich that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may 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 with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility 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, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
