Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Heath Springs, SC.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Heath Springs that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 medical 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 receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
