Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Avery Island, LA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Avery Island that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually 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 complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages 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.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
