Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cobb, GA.

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

There are a few different types of detox in or near Cobb that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in 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 medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
