Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Shaftsbury, VT.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Shaftsbury that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable 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.
