Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Greenwood, FL.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Greenwood that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is battling 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. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
