Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Santa Fe, TN.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Santa Fe that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
