Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Southside, TN.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person 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 alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Southside that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

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

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
