Detox - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Springfield, WV.

When someone is quitting alcohol or drugs, they will likely have withdrawal symptoms as their body detoxifies. Detox may be performed in a professional detox facility or rehab center so that the individual has eliminated all of the drugs and/or alcohol from their system and they are mentally and physically stable, and undoubtedly off drugs and alcohol.

There are various different types of detox in or near Springfield that clients can choose from. Different substances produce different withdrawal symptoms, and certain individuals may be at risk of unsafe side effects of detox and likely need closer medical supervision and more intensive engagement. 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 risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it lowers the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly result in an unintended overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could literally save your life.

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

Medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient facility or hospital setting with the use of medications. This could be necessary for an individual who is suffering from alcoholism and will require medication to alleviate life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with particular prescription drugs that individuals develop dependence to. Medically assisted detox might also be preferred among opiate addicted clients, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid medications.
