Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Troy, VA.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body 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 Troy that people can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. 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 on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detox, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. 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 alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
