Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alexandria, LA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Alexandria that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
