Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ellerbe, NC.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Ellerbe that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
