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

When a person is just getting off alcohol or drugs, they will likely feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be managed in a professional detoxification facility or rehab facility so that the client has fully removed all of 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 Wheeling that clients can choose from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and certain patients may be at risk of dangerous side effects of withdrawal and likely need closer monitoring and more intensive engagement. In any case, anyone considering detox or wanting 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 some of the medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the risks associated with relapse. A relapse during detoxification can sometimes result in an accidental overdose, so obtaining professional detox services and having access to an extensive system of support could actually save your life.

Some facilities offer a holistic and natural detoxification, when it isn't likely 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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the beginning stages of detoxification. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be overcome without medications of any kind through a natural, holistic detox.

Medical detox is performed in an inpatient facility with the use of prescription drugs. This may be required for an individual who is battling alcoholism and will need withdrawal medications to get control over the life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription drugs that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opiate addicted individuals, who would want be administered detox medications to temporarily alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or other opioid medications.
