Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Longstreet, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Longstreet that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person'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 on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
