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

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be done in a professional 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 physically and mentally stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Fort Gay that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing 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 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 obtaining supervised detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce extreme withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural, holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detox may also be favored among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
