Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Weldon Spring, MO.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Weldon Spring that clients can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. 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 at home on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This may be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
