Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Radiant, VA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detox center or treatment center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Radiant that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
