Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Duplessis, LA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Duplessis that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present 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 natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
