When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Jacksonville that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
