Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Neavitt, MD.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Neavitt that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. 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 medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
