Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - South Miami, FL.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near South Miami that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
