Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Maumelle, AR.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Maumelle that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
