Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Birmingham, OH.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Birmingham that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

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