Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Huttonsville, WV.

When an individual is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will typically feel withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab center so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Huttonsville that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 in some cases, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so receiving supervised detoxification services and securing access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription drugs. This might be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with certain prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detoxification might also be preferred among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be given medications to temporarily relieve opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
