Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Sterling, MI.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Sterling that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical 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 without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
