When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.
There are various different types of detox in or near Metairie that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need 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 the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.
Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
