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

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated 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 Rescue that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
