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

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or treatment center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Durham that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

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