Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Shreveport, LA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Shreveport that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
