Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bakersville, NC.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person 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 few different types of detox in or near Bakersville that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh 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.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
