Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Union, WA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Union that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as 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 on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
