When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are various different types of detox in or near Birmingham that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce 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 natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
