Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shannon Hills, AR.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Shannon Hills that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
