When an individual is just getting off drugs or alcohol, they will typically feel symptoms of withdrawal as their body detoxes. Detox may be performed in a medically supervised detox center or rehab center so that the person has eliminated the drugs and/or alcohol from the body and they are mentally and physically balanced, and of course off drugs and no longer drinking.
There are a number of different types of detox in or near Wells that clients can select from. Different substances present different withdrawal symptoms, and some patients may be at risk of critical side effects of detox and may need closer medical supervision and more intensive intervention. In any case, anyone detoxing or making the decision to get off of drugs or stop drinking should always do so with professional help and not at home on their own. This is because of the many medical risks associated with withdrawal, but also because it decreases the chances of relapse. A relapse during detoxification can commonly cause an accidental overdose, so obtaining supervised detoxification services and gaining access to a strong system of support could truly save the person's life.
Some facilities provide a natural and holistic detoxification, when it isn't likely that there will be any risks or complications 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 produce severe withdrawal symptoms in the first couple days of detox. These symptoms subside within a few days on their own and can be done without drugs of any kind through a holistic detoxification.
Medically assisted detoxification takes place in an inpatient setting with the use of prescription medications. This might be necessary for someone who is suffering from alcoholism and will require withdrawal medications to prevent life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is also the case with some specific prescription medications that individuals get addicted to. Medical detoxification may also be desirable among opioid dependent clients, who would want be administered medications to temporarily alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms as they come off of heroin or prescription opioid drugs.
