Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Greenville, AL.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Greenville that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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 produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may 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 drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
