Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Fort Towson, OK.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Fort Towson that people can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking 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 chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary 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 medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
