Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Whitehall, MI.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Whitehall that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

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