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

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Longleaf that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
