Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Live Oak, FL.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Live Oak that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a strong 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 will 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 severe 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 medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
