Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Athol, KS.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Athol that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Regardless, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and having access to an extensive system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or complications 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 extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
