Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Elizabeth, WV.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be performed in a professional detoxification facility or treatment facility so that the person has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Elizabeth that individuals can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. Either way, anyone detoxing 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 health risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detox services and securing access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as 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 accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medical detox takes place in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would rather be administered detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
