Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Alexandria, IN.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Alexandria that individuals can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility 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 sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
