Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Augusta, MO.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Augusta that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
