Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alto, GA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Alto that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not 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 sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based 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 on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
