Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Shickshinny, PA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms 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 from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Shickshinny that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable 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 drugs.
