Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Reynoldsville, WV.

When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically have symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox can be performed in a medically supervised detoxification center or rehab facility so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Reynoldsville that people can pick from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and some individuals may be at risk of harmful side effects of withdrawal 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 at a qualified facility and not at home on their own. This is because of the many health risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an unintended overdose, so receiving professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities provide a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the individual's current drug use and current state of health. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but present harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be accomplished without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.

Medically assisted detox is done in an inpatient facility with the use of medications. This could be required for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be favored among opioid dependent individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate drugs.
