Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Georges, DE.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near St. Georges that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
