Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Blacksburg, SC.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near Blacksburg that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
