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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of 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 various different types of detox in or near Whigham that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
