Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Vienna, VA.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or treatment center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Vienna that clients can pick from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
