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

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of 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 a few different types of detox in or near Emerson that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home 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 commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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 result in severe 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 natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
