Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Keokee, VA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Keokee that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected 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, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
