Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Killeen, TX.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Killeen that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

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

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
