Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Appomattox, VA.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a professional detoxification center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Appomattox that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medical detox is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
