Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Eunice, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated 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 various different types of detox in or near Eunice that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
