Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ashland, LA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Ashland that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
