Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Burlington, OK.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the individual 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 Burlington that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could 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 individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification might also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
