Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Baton Rouge, LA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Baton Rouge that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate 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 setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
