Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hernando, MS.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of 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 Hernando that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not 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 sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
