Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wideman, AR.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of 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 few different types of detox in or near Wideman that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
