Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dickson City, PA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Dickson City that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will 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 first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
