Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Alexander City, AL.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Alexander City that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing 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 the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually 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 person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme 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 medications of any kind through a 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 struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
