When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are various different types of detox in or near Gretna that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there might 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
