Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Portal, GA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Portal that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual'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 harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
