Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bordelonville, LA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab 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 Bordelonville that clients can choose from. Different substances present 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. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
