When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or treatment 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 of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Hammond that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
