Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hood, VA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab center so that the individual has fully removed the drugs from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Hood that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detox services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

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