Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Henrico, VA.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Henrico that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. 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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
