Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Stratford, VA.

When someone is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the client has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Stratford that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
