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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Northwest that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
