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

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Jennings that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual'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 result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
