Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Arnaudville, LA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Arnaudville that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
