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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Colfax that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
