Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elon, NC.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Elon that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

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