Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Atlanta, NY.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Atlanta that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
