Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Asherton, TX.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Asherton that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
