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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol 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 Lincoln that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. 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 with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

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