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

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Powhatan that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification 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 medications.
