Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Alpharetta, GA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from the body 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 Alpharetta that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, 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 with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
