Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Wicomico Church, VA.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Wicomico Church that clients can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone considering detox 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could truly save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or complications 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 present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
