Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Elliott, MS.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Elliott that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
