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

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near Gaylesville that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many 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 unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
