Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Richmond, VT.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Richmond that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could 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. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
