Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Handley, WV.

When someone is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the person has eliminated the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Handley that people can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of withdrawal and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox 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 the many medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unintended overdose, so receiving supervised detox services and gaining access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't likely that there might be any risks or complications based off of the client'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 steadily decrease within a few days without much intervention and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification is done in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with certain prescription drugs that people get addicted to. Medically assisted detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
