Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Amant, LA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near St. Amant that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
