Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Leesburg, FL.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Leesburg that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
