Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Palm Harbor, FL.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Palm Harbor that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person'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 first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
