Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Capeville, VA.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Capeville that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
