When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Norristown that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.
Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
