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

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox can be managed in a professional detoxification center or treatment facility so that the person has fully removed the drugs and/or alcohol 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 Shirley that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely require closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone considering detox or making the decision to quit heavy drug or alcohol use should always do so with professional help and not 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 detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and gaining access to a robust system of support could truly save the individual's life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detox, when it isn't expected that there will be any risks or health hazards based off of the client's current health and drug history. Even severe physically based addictions, such as heroin addiction, are not life-threatening but result in harsh withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days without much intervention and can be done without drugs of any kind through a natural detoxification.

Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be required for someone who is struggling with alcoholism and will require medication to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be preferred among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opiate medications.
