Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Huntersville, NC.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab center so that the individual 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 few different types of detox in or near Huntersville that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
