Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kill Devil Hills, NC.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Kill Devil Hills that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility 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 cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
