Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Harrisburg, SD.

When an individual is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Harrisburg that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
