Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sumter, SC.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Sumter that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
