Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Gray, LA.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Gray that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. 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 risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
