Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mount Ulla, NC.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed 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 Mount Ulla that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need 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 at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
