Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Augusta, GA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Augusta that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
