Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Shawnee, OH.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Shawnee that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present extreme withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This may be necessary for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detox might also be desirable among opiate addicted clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid drugs.
