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

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Dyke that clients can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, 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 lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely 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, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
