Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lake View, SC.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lake View that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
