Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lawndale, NC.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Lawndale that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
