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

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will typically have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a professional detox facility or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a few different types of detox in or near Hico that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. Either way, anyone detoxing or making the decision 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 the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can sometimes cause an accidental overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and having access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

Some programs offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or health hazards based off of the person's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, like 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 natural detoxification.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription drugs. This could be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather receive medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
