Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Smyrna, DE.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Smyrna that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
