Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - La Place, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near La Place that individuals can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce 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 holistic detox.

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