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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Montezuma that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, 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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
