Detox - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Slab Fork, WV.

When a person is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxes. Detox can be done in a medically supervised detox facility or rehab facility so that the client has eliminated all of the drugs from their system and they are physically and mentally balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.

There are a number of different types of detox in or near Slab Fork that clients can select from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone detoxing or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated in some cases, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detox can at times cause an unexpected overdose, so getting professional detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could actually save the individual's life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will need medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, as is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would prefer to be given medications to temporarily relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opiate drugs.
