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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Sumner that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
