Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Healdton, OK.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Healdton that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, 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 some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
