Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wedowee, AL.

When a person 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 facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Wedowee that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
