Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Gainesville, AL.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Gainesville that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally 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 individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
