Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Orleans, LA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near New Orleans that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and securing access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
