Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fairfield, OH.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near Fairfield that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification 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 opioid medications.
