Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lester, AL.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lester that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, 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 the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
