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

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Hollywood that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help 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 detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
