Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mershon, GA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility 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 few different types of detox in or near Mershon that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox 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 require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
