Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Alexandria, AL.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab 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 a few different types of detox in or near Alexandria that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
