Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Eufaula, AL.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Eufaula that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
