Facts

  • Sudden cessation of chronic use of marijuana use will result in withdrawal when users stop using the drug.
  • Opiate withdrawal symptoms are often described as similar to the flu but much worse and can cause aching, fever, sweating, shaking, or chills.
  • Short-term residential drug rehab is a type of drug treatment which provides intensive but relatively brief treatment based on a modified 12-step approach.
  • One treatment approach that is used for managing opiate withdrawal is to treat the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication. Clondine, an antihypertensive drug, is sometimes used to reduce muscle pain and cramping.

Skwentna, Alaska - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can adequately oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the individual will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any problems are fixed as swiftly and safely as possible.
