Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Burnsville, WV.

When someone is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a professional detox center or treatment 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 Burnsville that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 in some cases, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some programs provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with particular prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate medications.
