Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fort Ashby, WV.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the individual has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Fort Ashby that people can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times result in an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there would 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 severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be overcome without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will require medication to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
