Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Wedgefield, SC.

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

There are various different types of detox in or near Wedgefield that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
