Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bristol, IN.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the individual 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 Bristol that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
