Detox - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kimberly, WV.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be done in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the person has fully removed all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Kimberly that individuals can select from. Different substances bring about different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it reduces the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detox services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't anticipated that there will be any risks or complications based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days on their own and can be done without medications of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medical detoxification is done in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to receive detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
