Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - New Iberia, LA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near New Iberia that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

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

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
