Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Oak Grove, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Oak Grove that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
