Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Nelsonia, VA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Nelsonia that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could truly save your life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be given medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
