Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Highland Heights, OH.

When a person is quitting drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Highland Heights that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and may require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could truly 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 health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medical detox is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
