Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Waynesville, NC.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Waynesville that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
