Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - San Marcos, TX.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near San Marcos that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
