Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wiggins, MS.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Wiggins that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
