Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Francis, SD.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near St. Francis that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
