When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are various different types of detox in or near Covington that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could literally save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
