Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Mc Intosh, SD.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of 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 Mc Intosh that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
