Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Columbia, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Columbia that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision 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 with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer 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 drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might 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 individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
