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

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Pelham that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
