Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Francisville, LA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near St. Francisville that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages 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 detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
