When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Norfolk that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an accidental overdose, so getting professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.
Some programs provide a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected 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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need 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 detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
