Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sparks Glencoe, MD.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Sparks Glencoe that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme 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 detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
