Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bourg, LA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person 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 a number of different types of detox in or near Bourg that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
