Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dunn Loring, VA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Dunn Loring that people can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
