Detox - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gilbert, WV.

When a person is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detoxification center 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 various different types of detox in or near Gilbert that individuals can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of harmful side effects of detox and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so at a qualified facility and not on their own. This is because of some of the health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will 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 detox. These symptoms steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This could be required for an individual who is struggling with alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medical detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive detox medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
