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

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Maidens that people can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of the many risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a robust system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be favored among opiate addicted clients, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
