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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Chesterfield that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision 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 risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
