Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Homer, GA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the client 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 number of different types of detox in or near Homer that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
