Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Marathon Shores, FL.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Marathon Shores that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
