Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Jefferson, GA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Jefferson that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
