Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Newport, VA.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system 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 Newport that individuals can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would want be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
