Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Jamestown, VA.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Jamestown that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client'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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. 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 detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
