Why Choose Alaska Detox Centers?

Naturally you’re not going to head to Alaska for detox just because of the pristine scenery that is found in the state, although this may keep you around once you start your recovery program. Each person chooses detox for a slightly different purpose—some need around-the-clock support when they feel cravings spike, others need a clean environment to live in that allows them to step away from drugs and alcohol and not be faced with the daily interactions of those who abuse these substances.

No matter WHY you choose a detox center in Alaska, your goal is likely the same as the next person—to get sober, overcome physical withdrawal and feel good without drugs or alcohol.

How Long is Alaska Alcohol Detox?

Alcoholism poses a serious threat throughout the state of Alaska and it has for quite some time. Many counties are dry which means alcohol is not permitted at all, but this doesn’t stop people from seeking the substance and hiding it in their homes.

Alcohol detox can take:

  • 3-5 days for the worst symptoms to begin—this includes shaking, nausea, vomiting and the potential for seizures if you suffer from DTs.
  • 7-9 days for cravings to peak.
  • 10-14 days for symptoms to begin to subside.
  • Long-term cravings are likely and additional symptoms of withdrawal may occur if you are a long-time alcoholic that requires additional treatment for Delirium Tremens or other serious disorders associated with alcoholism.

How Long is Alaska Drug Detox?

Detoxing from any substance is a matter of multiple factors—the following factors play a role in the amount of time you will need to spend in an Alaska drug detox center in order to fully overcome the physical aspects of the addiction:

  • Your age and whether you have been addicted for a very long time.
  • The type of substance you are addicted to. Certain drugs take longer to safely detox from.
  • The amount of the substance that you use and how frequently you use.
  • Your commitment to your own recovery.
  • How you approach detox and whether you have underlying health problems such as mental illness or chronic pain.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Detox Centers in AK

If you’re heavily addicted, can’t say “no” and have tried to quit and failed—you need inpatient detox. AK Inpatient detox centers provide you with around-the-clock support, the care you need for immediate healing and an environment that is free from temptation because drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited.

Outpatient detox centers can provide an option if you don’t have the ability to leave your family behind while you seek help for yourself or if your job does not permit you to take time off. Otherwise, we recommend that you seek inpatient care as your first choice in safe, effective detox.
