Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Raleigh, WV.

When an individual is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxifies. Detox may be managed in a medically supervised detox facility or treatment facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and alcohol.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Raleigh that individuals can pick from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely require closer monitoring and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not on their own. This is because of some of the risks associated in some cases, but also because it reduces the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so receiving professional detoxification services and having access to a robust system of support could actually save the person's life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't anticipated that there would be any risks or complications based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even some of the more serious physical addictions, like heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but produce harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms alleviate within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detox.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of medications. This may be required for someone who is battling 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 detox might also be favored among opioid dependent clients, who would prefer to be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
