Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wheelock, TX.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Wheelock that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
