Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - East Ridge, TN.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near East Ridge that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications 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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
