Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Buffalo Junction, VA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Buffalo Junction that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not 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 detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
