Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Merryville, LA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Merryville that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
