Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Montross, VA.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the client has fully removed 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 Montross that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, 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 some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
