Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Athens, MI.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Athens that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
