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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Palmetto 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 require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually 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 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 first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
