When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Arlington that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.
Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
