When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Portsmouth that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications 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 first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
