Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Lexington, NE.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Lexington that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision 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 some of the health 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 obtaining professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

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

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
