Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Ridge, MD.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Ridge that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
