Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Atlanta, IL.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Atlanta that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
