Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fort Smith, MT.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Fort Smith that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease 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 performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
