Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Riverview, FL.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Riverview that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
