Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Prairieville, LA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Prairieville that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will 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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
