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

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol 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. Maurice that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could 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 medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
