Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Johns, OH.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of 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 St. Johns 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 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 the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary 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 get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
