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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Chickamauga that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
