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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Watertown that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
