Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Homer, OH.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs 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 Homer that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
