When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are various different types of detox in or near Atlanta that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.
Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. 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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
