List of Alcohol and Drug Detox Centers In Sandy Hook, Connecticut

How Detoxification Works in Sandy Hook, Connecticut

For many clients in an addiction treatment program, the first steps of detoxification can be intense. As a direct result, the facility may have mental health and medical staff members standing by to offer you the effective support, management, and oversight you require as your body purges the drugs you previously consumed.

For instance, several hours after you take your last heroin dose, you might experience withdrawal, which may be expressed as:

  • Anxiety
  • Excessive yawning
  • Agitation
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Sweating
  • Runny nose
  • Muscle aches
  • Increasing tearing of the eyes

Even though you may think that these symptoms aren't life threatening, it is likely they may be so unbearable that you would be inclined to begin abusing heroin again. For this reason, you should receive medical and mental health care while undergoing detoxification.

Additionally, you can experience other issues when you enroll in a detox center - particularly in the first couple of hours after your last dose of the drugs your body is dependent on.

While this is occurring, the detoxification facility in Sandy Hook will address the most severe of these problems initially before achieving full stability. Some issues you may experience include but are not always limited to:

  • Threat to self
  • Medical illness
  • Injury
  • Violence
  • Symptoms of psychosis

You may also experience intense cravings for your drug of choice. To ensure that you do not relapse, the detoxification may administer specific replacement drugs or slowly wean you off from these substances.

To ensure that you finally stop your drug abuse, therefore, you should make sure that you undergo detox at an accredited Sandy Hook, CT. center with highly experienced addiction rehabilitation professionals and medics. Although the experience might be painful and cause discomfort, it is nothing compared to the devastation that your continued alcohol and drug abuse and drug and alcohol addiction can have on your life.
