When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox center or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a few different types of detox in or near Virginia Beach that people can choose from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there might be any risks or health hazards 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 present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.
Medically assisted detoxification is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
