Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ravenswood, WV.

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a professional detox facility or rehab facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are physically and mentally stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are various different types of detox in or near Ravenswood that clients can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and may need 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 health risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so getting supervised detoxification services and securing access to an extensive system of support could literally save the person's life.

Some programs offer a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't expected that there would be any risks or health hazards 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 present severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be accomplished without medications of any kind through a natural detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription medications. This may be required for someone who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription medications that people develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opioid dependent individuals, who would rather be administered medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
