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

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol 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 Stonewall that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
