When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from the body 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 Georgetown that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox 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 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 at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save your life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
