When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional detox center or rehab center so that the client has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Lynchburg that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.
Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 on their own and can be overcome 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 an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
