Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Eustis, VA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed 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 number of different types of detox in or near Fort Eustis that individuals can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require 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 at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could actually save the person'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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
