When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Athens that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
